What is this? A lighting chain is a string of small lights you hang up. Some chains have thin wires that can get too hot or have bare wires that can shock you.
What's happening? The wires in some chains are not held tight and are too thin. This can cause overheating, burns, or even a fire. The wires may also have poor insulation, risking electric shock.
Does this affect me? If you have a lighting chain from China, you might be at risk. Check your chain for thin wires or loose parts.
What should I do? Stop using the chain right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safer option.
