@ai6yr This is a general problem on Amazon and other online retailers.

I fail to understand how any government regulators allow blatantly non-conforming products to be sold online.

I should not be able to purchase non-UL listed electrical equipment either.

The public interest is not at all served here - it is simply extracting money for something that does not meet the standards, and that consumers buy because it's cheap, assuming that regulations are enforced.

There are UL listed electronics available, I just bought some COB lights for my home office. They cost a bit more and I had to pay more for a UL listed power supply. But at least it won't catch fire - probably.
