Here's what I can say: It's an accessory for the caravaning/vanlife scene. Nothing obscene, nothing legally critical.

is it some kind of safety item?

See "edit2" in OP.

I was very careful not to advertise the part as "the one solution" for any security problem.

That was mostly out of fear of liability, but I also wanted to make people think about whether the part would really help them with a specific problem or if it was just a gimmick.
