The electrical code requires it, so I wouldn't be surprised if insurance was denied. But given the proliferation of these things lately I'm not sure how a court would handle it. Are most consumers expect to know to look for these things? In order to be sold in Canada they must be approved, so you could maybe have grounds to go after Amazon, thoguh I am most assuredly not a lawyer. But as DoubleF purchased directly from Big Red, I don't know if you could ever hold them to account.
I've just read about some really sketchy things like USB power bricks that are incredibly dangerous, so I always watch out for the certifications now.
