Hazard: The product is marketed for outdoor use but it is not correctly insulated against moisture, and its outside casing can easily break and let water in the control unit and inside the socket for connecting additional sections. Also, the flashing control unit can break, allowing access to live parts, while the design of the plug and the auxiliary socket does not ensure a safe connection with other chains. Moreover, the wires are not sufficiently resistant, the electrical insulation is inadequate and the clearance/creepage distances between the primary and accessible secondary circuits are not sufficient, hence accessible parts may become live. A user may receive an electric shock. Furthermore, the power supply pallet may catch fire; a user may suffer burns.

What is this? These are Christmas light chains sold in Latvia. They are meant for outdoor use but have serious safety flaws.
What's happening? Water can get inside the chains and damage the control unit. The plug and sockets may not connect safely. Wires and insulation are weak, which can cause electric shocks or fires.
Does this affect me? If you own or use these chains in Latvia, you could be at risk of electric shock or burns.
What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock. Return the chains to where you bought them for a refund.
