Does anyone know if it is illegal to sell consumer electronics if they do not have some minimum set of agency approvals? Let's not consider the FCC part 15 etc...I'm thinking along the lines of some motorized appliance that _could_ potentially be a safety hazard.
So, sure it is desirable to have these products approved via agencies (say U/L for safety etc..) but if it is NOT approved, is it illegal?
If it is illegal, what are the applicable laws?
Also, I am only wondering about USA sales/markets here..
I know all products do not necessarily get sufficient approvals but what's the deal in a nutshell?
Thanks!
