You're kidding right? IKEA is recognized to make top notch USB chargers, someone on the net buy all kind of USB chargers, disassemble them, reverse their schematic, and test them. And the IKEA ones are super safe especially because they respect all american, european, and basically every countries laws/certifications.

Yes I was joking. Or maybe it's called sarcasm idk. I'm not good at social stuff. It's just Ikea is known as a brand of low quality stuff here where I live, even though it actually isn't one (at least not anymore). And I'm surprised that their products are not just decent enough to pass minimal standards but actually safe. It's great to know that at least some companies aren't saving on safety now

Ikea makes very good products for the price point - better than pretty much anyone else.

They make mostly "budget" furniture. Low quality, but looks nice and gets the job done.

But they also make tons of high quality stuff, too. Most of their electronics are well-regarded.
