What is this? A stage smoke machine is a device that makes fog for shows. Some machines have unsafe plugs that can cause shocks or fires.

What's happening? The plug may carry high voltage instead of low voltage. This can lead to electric shocks or fires.

Does this affect me? If you use a stage smoke machine in the Netherlands or Austria, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the machine and ask a professional to check it. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unsafe.
