The insurance company doesnt want a payout though -- they will ensure certain certifications. Those certifications aren't worth as much as I thought they were.

Those certifications aren't worth as much as I thought they were. I just took apart a UL-certified power strip with scorched plastic, which is a significant fire hazard. It had an LED that was fed from the 120V line through a 15K 0.5-watt resistor.
- TuringNYC 10mo agoa UL certification will hardly be the only one in place for a commercial insurance firm to guarantee a jacuzzi. Just imagine the risk of electrocution. Just look at it from a retail standpoint -- perhaps you have car insurance. - (where I live) You are forced to have a driver's license - (where I live) Even if your spouse claims not to drive, they wont insure me unless all other adults in my household have licenses - i'm forced to pay more if i drive an unsafe car vs a safe one - I can pay less if I have a LoJack or other safety device - I can pay further less if I take a driver's safety course which runs 5hrs long - I can pay further less if I install a OBD-2 device sharing my driver behavior - I risk having my insurance cancelled If I do something bad (DUI) - I risk having no payout if I do something illegal
