It is the consumers responsibility to ensure that what you are purchasing is approved, but there is no way to know if it is legit, that should be the authority's responsibility.

I am definitely not cancelling my order for my pump that's for sure. I just wish Nick would get his stock in sooner. :) Been waiting over a month.

Just make sure to plug it into a gfci. If it shorts, it'll kick out the breaker in the plug, right?

Does anyone else have a WP-40 sound like a phone off the hook? Spooling up and down?

In all seriousness, this is why I haven't purchased the $1.00 led drivers from ebay there has to be some correlation between cost and quality.

I will check my power supply to see what sticker is on the back of it tonight.
There are millions of items sold at dollar stores around the country that I'm sure are not certified or legit.

I have the 25 that does the same thing. I can only hear it under full power and if nothing else ( t.v ) is on in the room.

Nope. Have to put my ear really close to even hear it. I use the random mode. Very, very quiet compared to some of the other pumps out there.

I think when it was new, I did hear it a bit when ramping up and down, but even then wasn't loud.

I don't think people are getting that yes, all these power supplies have been stamped with CE, ULC...and whatever else. The point being is that they are not actually certified, regardless of what the power supply says.

If someone was to happen to someone who purchased one from a retailer, it would be the consumers choice obviously to pursue a lawsuit. Which could entail jail time and lots of fines.

And a note to everyone that sells them: now you know they aren't certified in Canada, your walking on hot water IMO.

Jebao Pumps - Illegal?
 

Yea it could if your GFCI is working properly.

I work with electrical for a living, and can tell you GFCI don't always work the way they should. If you were to look up the # of recalls for GFCI you would be amazed.

unless the GFCI is made in China..

And how often does this happen? What exactly would you be sueing for? Doesn't there have to be some damages suffered or loss of some kind?

I used to work in big box retail, and was best friends with the head of the legal dept. They used to get lots of consumer lawsuits (mostly slips and falls), but never heard of a lawsuit over a label. And we used to buy a lot of stuff from China (almost all of the hard goods).
