If you donīt fell comfortable with the lamp, and I wouldnīt BTW, just
trash it.


Well... I didn't buy it. The issue is not about the buyer's ability to
determine the safety of a Chinese lamp. The issue is about the
certification agencies who have the device in their lab for
qualification. Their JOB is to protect me from harm. They should not
have qualified such a device. You may feel otherwise, that's your right.


I've got three of those design lamps here. Bought many years ago. Didn't
know they'd come back into fashion. I'm no more worried about using them
than I worry about having a PP3 battery with the terminals exposed...
