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 string of small LED lights called Starpie LED_ES. They plug into the wall to light up.

What's happening? The wires inside the lights are not safe. The plastic around the wires is too thin. A plug can go into the socket the wrong way. This could let you touch live wires and get a shock.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in Hungary, they could hurt you or start a fire.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Take them back to the store where you bought them. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
