@ai6yr never buy ANYTHING safety critical from Amazon, unless you have verified that it is being sold by the manufacturer's verified store page. Amazon identifies products based on SKU only, which means there's a potential one-to-many between listings and actual products; all a seller has to do is ship Amazon a product with the same barcode and they're in the running for sales of "that product", even if their version has none of the safety certs.
