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 string of LED lights made by SOMOGYI ELEKTRONIC. The plug is too small and may not fit the socket properly.

What's happening? The plug can go into the socket only part way. This leaves the metal part uncovered, so you could touch it and get a shock.

Does this affect me? If you have this light chain in Hungary, you could be at risk of an electric shock.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or an electrician for help. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell.
