What is this? This is a string of LED Christmas lights made in China. The wires inside are not covered well and the plug does not fit right.

What's happening? The lights can give you an electric shock because the wires are exposed. The plug and socket do not match safety rules.

Does this affect me? If you own these lights in Hungary, you could get hurt. They are sold as LED Christmas lights.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for help. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you feel a shock.
