It stands to reason that selling arbitrary offshore products without liability insurance will come to an end. Almost every offshore brand and reseller has a throwaway name so they can just fold up and start over should anything happen.

Also, I think electrical, li-ion, and RF products will have to prove their safety and compliance certification paperwork.
Question is why this has not been done from the start? Was this a favour for China?
Every time I ask this question the answer usually is "it's a free market! If you don't want to buy a charger that's a death trap, just don't buy one! Why would Amazon be responsible for your own purchasing decisions"
Or more recently a golden gem:
"Making the sellers responsible for items will inevitably make them more expensive, and I don't want that"
