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

What is this? This is a nail-care set with a plug that may not be safe. The plug’s insulation is poor, so metal parts inside can be touched.

What's happening? The plug and wires do not protect you well from electricity. You could get a shock if you touch the plug or metal parts.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this set in the UK or Germany, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel any tingling or pain.
