What is this? These are chains of small LED lights. The part that controls the lights may break too easily or let water in.

What's happening? The control box is weak. It might let you touch live wires or water might get inside. This could give you an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in Slovakia, you could be at risk.

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