Lighting chains
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Luckystar and Rice Light lighting chains pose an electric shock hazard due to multiple safety defects. The power supply cords use dangerously thin wires (0.03 mm² instead of the required 0.5 mm²), and the distance between the plug and the first light holders is too short, falling below the required 1.5-meter minimum. Additionally, the Rice Light model's control unit is poorly assembled, which can damage wires when the product is moved or plugged in. These products do not meet European safety standards.
Authorities have ordered the products withdrawn from the market. The products were sold in plastic bags marked "Everlasting" with packaging that stated they were suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though this information was misleading. The source record does not specify what action affected consumers should take.

The products pose a risk of electric shock because: - the wires of the power supply cords are too thin – 0.03 mm², instead of the required 0.5 mm²,- the distance between the plug and the first lampholders is 0.59 m and 0.85 m respectively, which is less than the minimum of 1.5 m, - the control unit of the 100 Rice Light chain is poorly assembled, which may cause to damage the wires while moving or plugging in the product. The products do not comply with the requirements set out in the relevant European standard EN 60598.
