Mains socket with USB built in

Surely it is what people who buy it actually want, just as they actually want a regime which allows them to buy dangerous sh**e?

I don't think people actually want dangerous items, but I'm pretty sure they have no idea how little there is to protect them if buying direct from outside the UK or EU. As an example there's a guy I know who bought one of these crap USB sockets, we were examining it and he was of the opinion it was poor quality and possibly unsafe. I was egging him on to simply return it as unusable, however in the end he installed it.

So why do they keep voting for them?
