[quotemsg=15137100,0,328798]I thought the "UL Listed" logo meant that Underwriters Laboratories had tested & inspected the model and certified its safety. If they only published standards, they wouldn't need 12,000 employees.

If a product is genuine and genuinely UL-listed, sure.
However, some products are forgeries/counterfeits, others have fake marks, some have no marks/listing whatsoever, there is the occasional manufacturing slip-up where someone forgets or mixes up components or even the questionable manufacturing practice of omitting components after certification. For example, the Sunbeam bar in part one has an ETL mark allegedly from Intertek but Intertek could not confirm the file's validity when I asked. Molded instructions on the back of the bar said it was supposed to have some form of end-of-life disconnect for the surge suppression but there was none in the actual product - at least not the one I bought.
In an ideal world, a certification mark should mean that the product you bring home meets the associated standards. In practice, there are many reasons why this may not always be the case.
