I use Amazon frequently and haven't been aware of any quality issues with anything I've purchased (though who knows for sure what their quality is), but there's definitely been an uptick in sketchy looking product alternatives made by unknown pop-up companies when you search for electronics and such. It kind of feels like viewing a modern Google search results page, where at least half the items are the equivalent of search engine-gaming blogspam. It wouldn't shock me if a lot of safety issues and hazardous materials are waiting to be uncovered in a lot of those products.
