Category
Electrical appliances and equipment
Hazard
The clearance /creepage distances between the primary and accessible secondary circuits are not sufficient; also, these two circuits are not insulated from each other and are linked by an inadequate condenser. Furthermore, the dielectric strength (on the printed circuit and in the transformer between the primary and secondary windings) is insufficient. Consequently, the user could receive an electric shock from accessible (live) parts.

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 small plug-in power adapter for LED light strips. It changes household electricity to the low voltage LED strips need.

What's happening? Some of these adapters can give you an electric shock because the safe gaps and insulation between the live parts and the parts you can touch are too small.

Does this affect me? If you bought an LED strip light adapter in France, Ireland or Luxembourg, it might be one of these unsafe ones.

What should I do? Stop using the adapter right away and ask a shop or a pharmacist what to do next.
