3. Nice job of selected editing AKA falsifying data
I randomly clicked the next to last link and found that THE COUNTERFEIT LABEL ("counterfeit label" got that?) says "Made in China". That is the SAME COUNTERFEIT LABEL that makes the false "UL Approved" claim. Note that you OMITTED the relevant entry by UL which says "Manufacturer: Unknown"
