It is advertised as being ETL certified, which is an NRTL (like UL) that is run by ITS.
https://www.osha.gov/nationally-r...rogram/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):
https://ramuk.intertekc
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."

Each USB A provided 1.46A max. Only one, did not test 2 or 3 at the same time.
Type-C provided only 1.46A max also.
I will return it tomorrow. I have plenty of PD chargers at home.will continue to use 6 outlet splitter from Dollar Tree and PD chargers.

Bought several long time ago. Like. Luv the extra plugs, added Cat4/5 plugs. CAVET - Will not plug into a GFCI outlets. My bathroom and kitchen counter outlet are GFCI.
I have used this on the 'down' side of the bathroom and kitchen GFCI outlets. YMMV . . Caution . . Don't if you do not know what this means. IMHO

Oh you... don't know that offhand?
Curious how everyone turns into a master electrician worried about burning their house down every time a budget power device gets posted. LEDs start fires! China starts fires! No power delivery!
It's an *$8 power strip* with USB ports for convenience, not to power your entire home and replace 90W Apple chargers.

God bless America including idiots!
I will probably return mine though, as I saw someone else posted a link with 6 outlets rather than 5.

Also some plugs can be split on the side screw terminals so that top and bottom can be different circuits, and you wouldn't want to plug something into both that would join them back together.
