They exact ones (Vojo 12W USB charger) are no longer sold (huh, wonder why), but these are similar:

The Belkin ones are UL certified, and I bought several of those with no issues after 2 years. Problem is Amazon does not list NRTL certification, so it’s a crap shoot.
The NRTL certification is a big deal at my employer. We can't buy anything over 48 VDC that isn't certified, or we will lose our insurance for the facility.
I'm surprised home insurers are not cracking down on this stuff. I'd like to know the statistics of house fires caused by cheap electronics.
These are a good example. CE, FCC, RoHS have nothing to do with safety (I'm I'll bet those are fake markings too too). You are plugging in the cheapest Chinesium into a 120V, 15A circuit

This "Amazon Basics" one is pretty funny. "Note: product is certified according to a UL standard (not by UL)." Does this mean Amazon is liable when your house burns down?

The "safety info" for the above is worthless:
