Just because you don’t realize something gave you cancer doesn’t mean you can safely ignore the cancer.

Feeling like you got ripped off is one thing, having your house burn down from faulty electronics is much worse etc etc.

bought an apple charger, nearly set my house on fire. I opened up the one I bought from amazon, and the old one I had at home. weight, number of components, etc clearly told me it was a differnt product. Yeah I was done buying anything electronic from amazon.

Yes, as it is preying on the clueless

Yes. I bought a ladle from Amazon. I noticed from some of the comments that a lot of people were getting a knock off ladle.

When I arrived, I checked to see if it was legitimate, and… it was not. It was a knock-off.

It was fine as a ladle. It ladled things. I never would’ve noticed or complained if I hadn’t seen the rules. No harm, no foul, right?

Absolutely not. That day I made a rule that I do not buy anything that goes on your skin, in your body, or health and safety kit from Amazon. If I can’t trust their ladles are authentic, I can’t trust their sunscreen or thermometers are authentic.

So, while the ladle didn’t harm me directly, it did pretty significant change my purchase habits.

Well, you don't know that the ladle didn't harm you directly. If it's made of substandard materials that leech carcinogens into your food, the effects might take years to appear.

Or anything that involves electricity.
