But it's got a recessed back and a screw or whatever. So who cares about safety?
Let's do a quick check - apparently you care about compliance, but do you have AFCI breakers installed? If not, you don't care about safety, I should say. Of course, $1000 or so for a house just for hardware and the last slick deal for AFCI stf was more than 5 years ago...

Some people live in apartments. I don't know anything about breakers or AFCI or whatever.
A surge protector just seems like a bad thing to buy from some Chinese company no one's ever heard of.

I'm not an electrician. I simply know that a product having a UL listing is better than not having one.

Touch grass.

The title implies that the entire device is recessed. It also somehow implies that the device is flush to the wall. It can't be both, and like I said before, it is in-fact neither.
Here is the listing title on Amazon:
Nowhere in that title does it claim to be flush or recessed. Probably because Amazon would make them change it if it did.
Nowhere in the description does it even say any form of the word "recess"
In the middle of the second bullet-point paragraph in the description, it does say,
which is a misnomer, but given the person who wrote the description obviously isn't a native English speaker, I'll give them a pass. Either way, "Flush to..." and "Flush Against..." mean completely separate things, and the latter mentioned is arguably improper.
Saying the pictures make up for misleading text, I don't think I can get on board with that either. I can't list a car saying "Mustang For Sale" and then show pictures of a Volkswagen and not expect to get hassled.
I saw the pic of the item and wasn't the least bit confused. Go find something else to nitpick about.
Edit: damn I did not read this thread when I posted this. Looks like the thread is already on fire on this very subject. I do value safety certifications so this is a hard pass for me. Just not worth the risk.
