Check It Out Autor: Electrical Safety First

In the last year, over 4 million UK shoppers bought a fake electrical product and a quarter of these were purchased from an online marketplace.

Compatible with Amazon and eBay, the Check It Out Firefox extension will remind you when you are not buying directly from the manufacturer or a retailer you know and trust.
