Allow me to link to a completely random but otherwise comparable product [amazon.com] I do not personally recommend but which indicates the UL 498A listing's applicability to this product form factor. In fact, most any basic one to many AC outlet adapter without a cord would fall under this UL standard, as these Home Depot [homedepot.com] and Amazon [amazon.com] listings illustrate.
You can find a better deal, and likely build yourself a product better suited to your specific charging needs, by just constructing something like this out of a more traditional power outlet expander and a USB adapter.
Good luck!

This Anker Outlet Extender claims surge protection, but is not listed under UL 1449.
The form factor of the Anker Outlet Extender is that of a current tap / adapter (like simpler three-to-one or six-to-one plug in adapters), but it is not listed under UL 498A.
For the record, I have seen some Anker devices claim to be extension cords (which are covered under UL 817) when in fact the device should more correctly have been listed as a relocatable tap (what most people would term a "power strip", covered under UL 1363).
With this Anker failing to be listing under any of these standards, I'd call it nothing. And I don't pay money for nothing.
Good luck!

Hard pass for me, but hooray for the swiss army knife of multitaps.
That's the essence of what the other SD poster was saying.
Find something from another brand with a UL listing.
Good luck!

I'm a retired firefighter. Don't buy non UL appliances unless you want to die. This sh*t should be illegal. Like those insane male to male AC extension cords.
Still cheap ($32)
