Socket
A Socket adaptor with four USB ports (model ASIN: B0FRS259LK) sold online through Amazon has been recalled because it has a grounded socket but uses a two-pin plug without proper earthing protection. This creates a safety risk where connected devices could become electrically live if a fault occurs, potentially causing electric shock to users. The product was distributed in Germany and does not meet European safety standards.
