What is this? A travel adaptor made in China. Its open EU plug hole is too small. A plug may fit in only halfway.

What's happening? Plugs can go in part way. If one metal pin touches, you could get an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you bought this adaptor in Hungary or Poland, stop using it now.

What should I do? Take it back to the shop for a refund or exchange. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
