CENELEC Guide 29, referenced in EU harmonized standards sets burn thresholds:
For brief contact (e.g., 1-3 seconds on adult-accessible parts), temperatures should stay below ~48-55°C depending on material; longer reflexive contact requires even lower limits (e.g., 43°C for extended exposure). A surface hot enough that hands can only tolerate it for "a couple of seconds" implies it's above this (likely 60°C+), risking second-degree burns.
I practice this means this product would not be allowed to be sold in EU. This would have been thoroughly tested to get the CE mark.
> All LED lights sold in Europe must carry the CE mark
Well, at no point do they talk about any kind of certification so my guess is they just didn't care/know/worry about it. So, yes, it's probably not legal to sell this in many places -not just EU-.
