Apparently it doesn't screw into place which makes it prone to falling out.

Some review pics show screw, some don't. Might just be luck of the draw

It is UL listed? So why not trust it?

Why are both of the sets of prongs on the back metallic? How does the wiring work internally? If you have a split outlet, this product could be bridging two circuits inside, injecting power back into your wall. If certain outlets are only connected to certain plugs, it would be useful to know which. I've had plenty of these types of outlets and never seen one that doesn't have plastic tabs for one of the plugs on the back rather than metal prongs.

Good catch, never would have thought of that despite my house being wired like that. IF someone has this a quick check of continuity would tell us how it's wired, could be that half the outlets are each served by one set of prongs on the back in which case those half would be switched. Could also be that the second set of prongs doesn't go anywhere inside the unit. Doesn't seem a cost effective option for manufacturing though.

There's actually a review that indicates how it's wired, and it's as I said above:

Unique, very useable, and at a bargain price
When used in a half-switched outlet like mine, and behind a bookcase at that, one side is live and the other is switched. Perfect solution which eliminate two extension cords

That's a really clever and useful design. Odd, since it surely cost more to implement, and this is HF.
