You said you care about electrical safety. What makes you think this
particular product is electrically safe? The USB port that is. You could
of course always make it safe by filling it up with hot glue.

Incidentally it's one of the few multi-socket thingemies that has a safe
socket design and is therefore permitted to be imported into New
Zealand.
