Today there are electrical products sold in stores without this label. I purchaced a ceramic heater without a tip-over switch at a reputable store. Upon further examination it also lacks an UL label. It%26#39;s too late to take it back since I have thrown away the packaging and sales slip.
We have extension cords, shown on TV, that the plug will break off, exposing wires. We have so many products available in our stores without this label, just look the next time you shop.
Has our country, the US, lowered our standards to allow these products to be sold here? If so why? So WalMart, Best Buy, Home Depot, K-Mart and every discount store can make a profit?
Can%26#39;t foreign countries make a product to, what used to be our standards? There was a day, in this country when you could not purchase an electrical product without this label.
Answer:
Unfortunately.you are correct. All electrical and electronic equipment for use in this country SHOULD have a UL seal on it. But the cheap imports from China make it in anyway.
And yes.many people in this country have decided that CHEAP, throw-away products that cost way less is the way they want it to go.
I personally refuse to buy cheap crap...I will spend more to have it last.
I used to have a ceramic heater as well...it was a $19 POS that broke after just one season of use.
We have lost a lot of our pride in this country.thanks for cheap imports!
