Before you buy electronics, do a quick safety scroll. Check for recalls on CPSC.gov, buy from reputable retailers, check for certifications from testing labs like UL, CSA, or Intertek. And don’t forget to register your products so you get safety alerts.

This helps you avoid counterfeits that often skip safety testing altogether. A few minutes of research before you buy can help prevent fires, shocks, and major headaches later.
