    The solution is a legislated minimum standard or quality.

    I’m surprised that the original legislation did not provide this guarantee.

      There’s no original legislation, there’s a specification. And the specification does have “quality” requirements. That some brands do not follow them while announcing them is illegal (to say the least, they are using the branding without permission).

      Cheap knockoff usually don’t follow the law…

        I was referring to the EU laws that are making USB-C charging mandatory.

          It does… We have had laws regarding safety in chargers and cables waaaaaaay before USB c existed.

          That doesn’t prevent Amazon from selling shit because Amazon doesn’t care. And they were selling shit hdmi, shit rj45 and shit lightning for years.
