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 USB charger made by the brand XO. It can give you an electric shock because the plastic cover around the wires inside is not thick enough.

What's happening? The charger has a serious safety flaw. Live wires inside can touch the outside part where you plug in your USB cable. This can cause an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you live in Finland and own this XO charger, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the charger right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after touching it.
