The hazard
The cable lacks proper anchoring (missing strain relief) and the accessible wires have inadequate insulation. The user could touch accessible live parts, which can lead to an electric shock. Furthermore, the product is not protected against moisture, despite being recommended for outdoor use. Consequently, the water could penetrate the product and cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
