Yeah but there will always be crap for Alibaba for anything you can think of. The solution would be banning charging altogether and adopt only proprietary stand

- Animats 5y agoNo, the solution for the US would be to refuse imports of any power device that lacks UL/CSA approval.
- sneak 5y agoWhat about the 96% of human beings that buy their electronics outside of the USA?
- afiori 5y agothey have their own corresponding government entities enact the corresponding regulations
- spookthesunset 5y agoI don’t even think that is required. I think what might be required is simply making it more explicit when a device is or is not UL listed. I shouldn’t have to search Amazon’s “questions” thing on a product listing to see if it is UL listed. Of course I suppose products that actually are UL listed on Amazon will already mention the fact somewhere in their description. That being said I’ve had more issues with low voltage crap letting the magic smoke out than mains powered devices.
- vagrantJin 5y agoYou must be joking. We've gone down that route before or is your memory fuzzy? When every single god damned device needed it's own special overengineered crap to charge? But then again you might be old and rich enough to not care about it.
