With Christmas approaching, Amazon will definitely require string lights to meet this requirement! Last year, many merchants did not understand what this was! This led to the removal of such light string products from the shelves, resulting in heavy losses! Whether merchants can seize the opportunity to make money this year depends on whether you are fully prepared!
Some sellers also said that not all lamps and lanterns are within the scope of UL 588, but Amazon's backstage inspection of products is grasped by Amazon robots, so it is inevitable that there will be some accidental injuries, so all lamp sellers still have to be cautious!
