The internal components are at most an LED and an AC to DC step down converter on an IC. It might even be using AC LEDs, though I doubt it for this price.
A lot of ICs have some method of cutoff protection, so this might even be safer than leaving a non-circuited device plugged in.
But, if you need to be extra cautious, plug them into GFCI outlets and get a clear baby-proof outlet cover that's lined with intumescent bead.
If you care about speed you submit to ETL. If you care about safety and lawsuits down the road, you go with UL. It's almost like comparing this as the special olympics vs the regular olympics. They both are technically olympics.

Outside of the color option on these new ones (IDK who'd opt for a colored nightlight...), but anyways, these new ones seem like they'd be less apt to being knocked off the wall by the kids or yourself as they don't look like they stick out as much.
Well red light IS better for night vision.

I've literally used these for more than 20 years.
Keep us updated once you open the package and if you can just use the light without the plate? I mean just take the light and plug into any existing power outlet?
Also let us know if you liked the product?
If only things were so simple as to expect 100% of the user base to do the right thing. Sadly that isn't possible thus why we have warning labels labels on hot coffee explaining it is "hot. Heck, if misusing products wasn't an issue then the concept of "Tamper-Resistant" would not even exist.
Please note I'm not saying this is a world ending issue but a pretty silly design choice. Like putting a photo of a candy bar on a bottle of aspirin. 'Just don't put it near your toddler' is not a "problem solved" type solution.
I just picked it up from Home Depot and I didn't realize that it comes with a wall plate as well. I didn't even read the entire description.
At the end of the day it is just another plug in night light. Your concern applies not just for this product, but for all night lights in general. The Tamper resistant cap is just a thin plastic like those used in water bottles. It will prevent a child from pulling the night light from the outlet. I don't see a difference between the soft white and bright white setting.
