Is this product UL rated/tested? My understanding is that if you have a fire without a UL-rated device insurance may not cover damages.

This outlet set, I believe, meets UL standards. More importantly, most local and state building codes forbid non Romex type power lines running behind wallboards , ie through the walls. The Arlington box is one of several devices that meet this standard. I used 14 g Romex to connect the outlets with the external line cord. I could then plug it into a surge suppressor for safety. In addition I added 2.5 Carlon tubing (Smurf Tubing) in order to fascilitate feeding the low voltage cables. This is additional fire safety, but more importantly facilitated threading all the cables through the wall and allows removal and replacement in the future. The boxes are well designed, are rugged and tolerate a lot of pulling and tugging. They are recessed and allow the plugs to recess so the TV will mount close to the wall. The plastic/ rubber dampers also allow easy threading of lines while blocking air leaks. This is very important if your walls have outside exposure as through the attic, etc. The building code might make for a violation when getting inspections for mortgages or when selling the home. True a fire would probably be bad if out of compliance.

Yes. The part are ul, but you will need to buy the cabling to run behind the wall up to the outlet. It is 3 strand electrical cable. Hope that helps.

I've never experienced that with my UL-certified iClever. It's always stayed cool to the touch. I can't say for sure if your charger is safe but if it were me personally I wouldn't use one that gets very hot. They're not too expensive and why take a chance?

The "label" on the bottom of the toaster, where the UL logo is stamped says "FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY." I'm not sure that UL rates things for "commercial use," just for the inherent safety of the device being rated, in the kind of service likely to be encountered. I'm also pretty sure that UL doesn't consider durability of an item, except as it relates to safety issues.However, it's a great toaster for home use. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but for the money this is a pretty good deal.

Mine were not UL listed and all 4 lights have been outside for two years. They are on a ground fault outlet for protection. Great lights - no issues.

There is a tag on the cord that I can see but did not unwind it. Usually, it will show that it is UL approved.

There is no indication of UL listing on the product, the packaging it came in or on the literature that came with it. I suggest you contact Torchstar directly at Torchstar.sales@gmail.com

I would assume it has a fire rating,.as it is designed for use over hot areas, and as for out door use, I have had two installed outdoors in a covered patio area that still look new 3 years later

I am not the manufacturer, but the description says it is fire resistant... Hope that helps

Not sure if its UL rated for commercial use. But, I've been using it for quite some time and have worked in the commercial industry. Although this is a very nice toaster for home use, in my opinion I would not count on it for commercial use. Hope this helps!

Look under the product description. It clearly says it is UL rated. Also rated in Canada. Read before you ask.

There is no indication it is fire resistant. If it was, it would say so, either on the product or the product information.

They have been around for a while.....I have experienced a 100% failure rate, and would not recommend this product! It is not UL approved.....Canadian UL is not the same. The Quantum 1000 has the potential to burn your house down, and if you are running your lights at night, you will never know that it is going bad until it ruins your crop or starts a fire.

The device is safe to use in the US. No problem. I can't remember checking to see if it was UL listed but it should be on the packaging or in the specs on Amazon.

it used to say it was ul approved. i wrote to united laboratories and they responded that they never applied for the seal. they said they would work with amazon to have that claim deleted and it has been.

Unfortunately it is not. I have been using this for a few weeks, and performance is great. but i didnt think to check for the UL when purchasing. I will how ever from now on.

If the product poses no fire risk (per the manufacturer) then what are we to make of SuzEQ's 3/12/11 post, "However, the first one lasted about a week before overheating and catching on fire. The second one only lasted a few days before doing the same." Clearly, her experience and the manufacturer's assurances are diametrically opposed. Anyone aware of any Consumer Reports or other consumer-based agency's studies of this product? I would feel much more confident about using Feliway if there were reassurances from an independent, objective third party...

If it is not UL listed, it does not comply with current codes in 40 states, as well as counties and municipalities in some of the other 10 states and DC. Also, if it meets EN50291, I do not see how it can ever meet UL requirements, as the two standards are incompatible. And yes, I am a geek ...
