Laurie, where is the UL logo ? I don't see it in that pic. I just flipped over my laptop power supply and it clearly has a "c (UL) us" logo on it. Is there another label on the other side of that power supply?

That's all the certification I require... I will advise the neighbors.

The one I got with my WP25's has the UL certificate on it. The one he pictured is the optional variable power supply that was purchased optionally.

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

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

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.
