This delightfully dangerous rose-themed night light had at least two areas of exposed live metal when in use, one of which I thoroughly fingered without realising it was making my whole body live with just a diode between me and the mains supply. Fortunately there was no good ground reference for current flow, so I was completely unaware of being live at 240V. It was also defective due to a detached connection on a stiff wire going up to the fully exposed live metal inside the rose itself.
One slight modification later and it's much safer and also much nicer.
If you have one of these particular items then I'd suggest dropping it in the nearest bin. If it's the type with the fully covered LEDs with silicone rubber mushrooms and flowers then at the very least make sure that the light sensor on the bottom has a cover over it.
