Yup, that's the REAL problem, FAKE UL and other certification stickers!
Very scary. My mother in law got some surge suppressor strips some time
ago. They had UL labels. If you turned them over, the plugs would fall
out, even the FIRST time they were used. No grip to the contacts in the
outlets. I sent the info on these to the UL comments address, and never
heard back from them. I expected they'd WANT to know about fake labels, but
apparently there are tons of these.
