What is this? This is a travel power adaptor that can plug into many different types of wall sockets. It has four USB ports for charging devices.

What's happening? Some of these adaptors have a dangerous flaw. One plug pin can go into the live socket while the other pin stays uncovered and live. Touching it could give you an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you bought or use this adaptor in Croatia, it might be unsafe. Only people who travel and use this adaptor are at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or a pharmacist where to get a safe replacement.
