Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A steam iron made by PANCERKA. The power cord is held in place only by a crimp, not a secure clamp.

What's happening? If the wire inside the cord becomes loose or damaged, the metal parts inside may touch the outside. This could give you an electric shock.

Does this affect me? Anyone in France who owns or uses this iron could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the iron right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel a tingle when you touch it. Return it to the store where you bought it for a refund or repair.
