Amazon should require certification from a safety lab like UL or CE before allowing any seller to sell inventory. And they should also require sellers of these products to post a bond or provide proof of liability insurance before allowing them to list these items.

That would cut down on the number of shitty dangerous power suppliers they're selling.

Unfortunately CE is self-certified. In theory the vendor is liable if their product doesn't comply with the requirements, but good luck sueing some Alibaba reseller from Shezhen.

Certifications from UL or similar labs are much better, but many producers don't hesitate to also fake the UL logo on their fake products.
