Comment on The Downfall of Amazon: Top Ranking Electrical Fuses Show Dangerous Results [video]parent

Comments

There are a couple of categories of stuff that you should probably just never risk buying on Amazon:

As you say, anything that plugs into AC mains >= 120V.

Anything that, were it to malfunction could cause a home fire or plumbing flood.

Anything that could lead to injury or death were it to fail (like car or boat parts, safety equipment).

Anything that your family or pets eat.

Anything mission critical that you depend on to run your business/income.

(any other ideas?)

any other ideas?

Anything medical. There was some talk of Amazon getting into (legal) drug supply, which could go very poorly.
