What is this? A lighting chain is a string of small lights you plug in. Some chains have a weak spot where the power cord meets the light box.
What's happening? The cord can pull loose easily. The box’s cover may come off by hand. This can expose live wires inside.
Does this affect me? If you own or use this lighting chain in the Czech Republic, you could get an electric shock.
What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or electrician for help. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel a shock.
