What is this? This is a string of Christmas lights called Lice Brasil — 100 LED Luz de Natal. It is a lighting chain that plugs into the wall.

What's happening? The lights have weak parts inside. The wires are too thin, the plug is too close to the first light, and the lights are not safe if they get wet. This can cause electric shocks or fires.

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

What should I do? Stop using the lights right away. Ask your local store or a qualified electrician for advice. Do not try to fix them yourself.
