I'd presume that this product should be listed under UL 498A Current Tap (see Anker's listing here [certipedia.com]). Allow me to link to a completely random, comparable product [amazon.com] I do not personally recommend but which indicates this UL 498A listing's applicability to this product form factor. Most any basic one to many AC outlet adapter without a cord would fall under this UL standard, as these random Home Depot [homedepot.com] and Amazon [amazon.com] listings illustrate.
Good luck!

I'd presume that this product should be listed under UL 498A Current Tap (see Anker's listing here). However, the Anker adapter fails to carry a listing under UL 498A.
I cannot recommend an AC adapter which fails to list under the appropriate UL listings.
Good luck!

CyberPower has a 3 outlet AC power strip model GC306UCHD with USB A and 15W USB-C cyberpowersystems.com[/url]] you can find at Home Depot for around $13(!). Unlike most every Anker power strip, the Cyber Power product is listed through ETL intertekconnect.com[/url]] as a power strip and surge protector.
You can also find a comparable form factor from Amazon and historically at a per unit price as low as $7 per cube if you were willing to buy a 4- or 6-pack (1-pack ASIN B082Q1LC55, 4-pack ASIN B082Q26YYT; 6-pack ASIN B082Q26GGD). As a bonus, the Amazon product has 4 USB ports, a heavier gauge extension cord (14 gauge), and has surge protection. In addition, the Amazon product has both of the appropriate/expected UL certifications (UL 1363 for relocatable taps - since the cord and receptacles are NOT molded together - and UL 1449 for surge protective devices) UL Product IQ[/url]].
Good luck!

It worked great plugged into one of those outlets integrated into a hotel desk lamp. I think I'll get another.

Hi, thank you for letting me know. I just checked and the code is still working on desktop. Maybe the app auto applied the coupon.

Try to do the same for some of the other products that get posted.
This safety/certification has become treacherous, and SD (as a forum and org/staff)has become really irresponsible in this regard
