Amazon Sells Fake Electrical Fuses

> Turns out, I need a 3A fuse, so I ordered one from Amazon OP might want to watch Louis Rossmann's video about buying things from Amazon. [VIDEO]

This video gives a good overview of how Amazon's NGAF attitude about safety needs to be reigned in. [VIDEO] If you are in the USA report unsafe products here: [LINK]

> A 3A fuse would burn out in a fraction of a second if you tried to do that. he bought it on Amazon. He has every reason to be worried that it won't burn out. Louis Rossman did a video[0] where he put 8 amps through a 2 amp fuse and left the room for quite a long time, I think it was several minutes with 8a going through a 2a fuse. [0]: [VIDEO]

> 2.5A primary side fuse (integrated into the AC inlet) did not melt This is a current-limited power-supply right? Test your fuse! Would not be the first time a fuse-shaped wire is sold[1] [1]: [VIDEO]

Could we interest you in some amazons choice fuses? never more be concerned about replacing a fuse! as these ones, simply wont need replacing! (they survive 5-10x their rated current) [VIDEO]

> Like yes, if its Friday afternoon, and you need parts urgently for your weekend project, then you can go there. But otherwise you get better choice for less money online. Yep, agreed. But online has its own problems... Amazon is full of shit with zero supply chain control, including safety-relevant stuff like fuses [1], or stuff secretly dropshipped from China or grey-imported from the UK or shipped from Poland with way more than a day of lead time. eBay is even worse. Bürklin is good but they do take their while to ship because they don't have an insane volume deal with DHL. And all of online is useless if you have stuff like weird connectors you need to find a matching mate or want to make sure <component> physically fits, or want to find a component that fits. No problem at Conrad, a huge and annoying hassle with online. [1] [VIDEO]

An easy example of the harm: [VIDEO] I'll just return the fuses to Amazon after my family burns up I guess. Now expand that to people buying supplements, bolts holding things in place that can harm people, etc from Amazon.

People buy fuses from Amazon for the cars/motorcycles not understanding it can kill them. They are actually evil at this point for doing nothing about any of these ongoing issues. They can't be unaware if us rando consumers are aware (or if they are doing recalls for fake products). [VIDEO]
