What is this? Christmas bell lights are strings of small bell-shaped lights meant for holiday decorations.

What's happening? Some of these lights have a weak spot where the power cord can be pulled out too easily. This can expose live wires inside and cause electric shocks.

Does this affect me? If you own or use these bell lights, you could be at risk of an electric shock.

What should I do? Stop using the lights right away and ask a shop or a professional to check them. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
