What is this? This is a plug adaptor that changes the shape of a plug so it fits into UK sockets. It has a cover held by screws that can come loose.
What's happening? The screws can be opened too easily. This lets a person or object touch the live metal parts inside. This can cause an electric shock.
Does this affect me? If you use this adaptor in the UK, you could get a shock while the plug is in use.
What should I do? Stop using it now. Ask a shop or electrician for a safe replacement.
