Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A lighting chain made in China has weak electrical insulation at the plug. This can let electricity escape.

What's happening? The plug’s insulation is not safe. It may cause electric shocks to anyone who touches it.

Does this affect me? If you own this lighting chain in France, you could be at risk of electric shock.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a store or electrician for help. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
