I have to admit that I'm undecided about that. If it's an item about
which I can discover enough information to make an intelligent
decision as to its safety, okay I'm with you. But wall warts are
sealed units that give up none of their secrets on the nameplate, nor
is the contents of the black blob documented.
On the other hand, I bristle when I see "No customer-serviceable
components inside". How do they bloody know what I can service?
