Check It Out — Electrical Safety First

In the last year, over 4 million UK shoppers bought a fake electrical product and a quarter of these were purchased from an online marketplace.

Did you know that when you buy from an online marketplace, you are buying from an unregulated third party seller? This lack of regulation means that it is easy for counterfeit and sub-standard products to be sold.

Compatible with Amazon and eBay, the Check It Out Firefox extension will remind you when you are not buying directly from the manufacturer or a retailer you know and trust.
