What does “UL-Approved device” mean?
UL-approved devices pass safety testing and ensure that a product is properly manufactured. The risk of malfunction, potentially causing a fire, is much less than a device that is not UL-approved.
Types of devices that need to be UL-approved include surge protectors, extension cords, and decorative lights.
