Risk
This product poses a risk of electric shock and fire due to insufficient cross section area. The extension cord does not comply with the Low Voltage Standard because it has the cross-section area of 0.5 – 0.75 mm² while the extension cord having a length of more than 2.00 m must have the cross-section area of at least 1.5 mm². The protective conductor is therefore no longer sufficiently functional. There is also a danger that the cord will become overloaded, which may cause fire. The electric cord does not contain any information/warning.
