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 travel adapter made in China. Its insulation is poor, so live parts inside can be touched.

What's happening? The adapter may give an electric shock if you touch the metal parts.

Does this affect me? If you bought or used this adapter in Hungary, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it now. Ask a shop or an electrician for a safe replacement.
