    Is this a first posture against Amazon? They've been selling fake UL listed (terrible, terrible electrically charged garbage) for years and they have never gotten a take down notice. Clipping on a nightlight outlet face-plate to energized (you can't turn these off with a light switch) active terminals is the craziest one I've soon so far.

    edit: Amazon has sold 100k of these, this should be an insurance nightmare…

      UL is a private organization. They would need to go after Amazon or the sellers themselves.
