What is this? A travel charger made by SWISSTEN. It may not have enough safety insulation, so metal parts could become live and give an electric shock.

What's happening? The charger’s safety design is not good enough. If you touch it while it is plugged in, you could get a shock.

Does this affect me? Only if you own or use this SWISSTEN travel charger in the Czech Republic.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or a pharmacist or doctor for help to find a safe replacement.
