It is advertised as being ETL certified, which is an NRTL (like UL) that is run by ITS.

Many arguments exist about whether UL or ETL is "better," but they are both certified testing laboratories and confirm that a product meets certain standards. (the big difference is that UL actually writes those standards, whereas ETL tends to just use them for testing)
Checking ETL's site, this brand/model is listed in the pictures (Lvetek QF-519F):

Important extract from the above webpage:
"Current taps with class 2 power unit, Model Nos. ...QF-519F..."
"A representative sample of the listed devices have been tested, investigated and found to comply with the requirements of the Standard(s) for Current Taps & Adapters (UL-498A) and are identified with the ETL Listed Mark."
Of course, all of that is assuming that the brand/model listed is genuine (fake products are fake, after all!), but that's always an issue, so YMMV.
One thing to note in the listing is that all of the USB ports are limited to 5V only, so no quick charging is supported. From the Amazon listing:
"USB Port Output: DC 5V, Total 4.8A (although this picture shows 4.2A max)
The UCB-C port doesn't support any other devices which need 9~22V charging voltage."

Even if they're the same phase, you now potentially would create a situation where regardless of e.g. a light switch position, the light will now always be on (usually, outlets are split like this to support a switch controlled lamp).
Many such wall plugs use the 2nd outlet for mechanical support, however (e.g. with a plastic plug) to help with retention.
One things most of these do that's annoying is a buzzing sound, especially when charging.
don't notice in office environment (lotta background noise from HVAC), but at home it's quite noticeable.
In some cases, even when not charging you get the static or bliping noise.
Same price too
