Lighting chain
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
A Royal brand lighting chain poses a serious electric shock hazard due to multiple safety defects. The product has insufficient insulation covering only single-layer protection at connections, undersized wire cross-sections, a dangerously short cable measuring between 0.89 and 0.91 meters, sharp cable inlets, and unsecured wires that can become damaged. The lighting chain does not meet the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60598. Two models are affected: model 0603-180L-10M with bar code 6924524300122 and model 0602-140L-8M with bar code 6924524300122. The product contains 180 or 140 incandescent lamps arranged in series-parallel circuits controlled by a flashing unit, operating at 230V and 50Hz.
Authorities have ordered a sales ban, withdrawal from the market, and consumer recall of this product. The source does not specify what steps an affected consumer should take.
