Jebao Pumps - Illegal?

[Reef Pilot]

This is my WP40 adapter. How can I tell if it is fake or illegal?

It was made in China so it is obviously a fake.

It looks legit. You would have to contact the certification company to tell if it was fake. Either way, you should be covered by your insurance company if damages resulted from it failing as it does have the seal and they can't tell consumers that they need to check every appliance manually even if it has the mark.

Either way, contact your insurance company as I hear that many would never deny a claim based off not having the certification.

Everything is made in China!

is it even the consumer's responsibility to confirm whether a certification is fake or not? i don't own anything that plugs in that i've gone and confirmed it's certification for.

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.

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.
