1. Recall Summary

The notifying country, Hungary, has issued a recall and market withdrawal for a mains-powered, series-connectable Christmas lighting chain. The product is identified as a “200 L” lighting chain, model numbers BTDB200WW 6M and X-02, with barcode 6920452022174. The product is described as having a transparent cable, 200 LED lights, and a white control box, operating at 230V. The recall was initiated due to multiple non-compliances that present a serious risk of electric shock to the user. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2.

2. Affected Products

The affected product is the “200 L” lighting chain (model numbers BTDB200WW 6M and X-02). The batch number and production dates are not specified in the recall notice.

3. Hazard Information

The following hazards are explicitly identified in the source data:

– Electric Shock Hazard: The structure of the socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs, and the protection surface of the plug’s face is insufficient.
– Electric Shock Hazard: The wires can be pulled or twisted out of their terminals.
– Electric Shock Hazard: The single-layer insulation is insufficient for a Class II appliance, which could lead to exposed live parts.
– Electric Shock Hazard: The insulation does not ensure adequate separation from live (active) parts during the lifetime of the luminaire.
– Non-Compliance: The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2.

The source data states that the user could touch accessible live parts and receive an electric shock.
