Brand: 

The pins of the built-in plug and plug adapter do not have an insulating collar. The plug adapter allows single-pole insertion of a plug, leaving the remaining free live pin accessible. The cover for the LED can be removed by hand during charging, leaving live parts accessible. The cross-sectional area of the core of the wires is insufficient: in case of a short circuit the wires may overheat and can cause a fire. The heat and flame resistance of the insulating material that hold the pins of the built-in plug in position is insufficient.

In addition, the storage compartment has sharp edges which can damage the insulation of the mains lead. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
