UL Solutions Warns of GFCI and Duplex Wall Outlets Modified by Third Parties to Include Built-in Cameras

UL Solutions issued a public safety notice about GFCI and duplex wall outlets that were UL Certified by their original manufacturers but later modified by third parties to include hidden cameras. The modified outlets, sold under 'Hidden Surveillance Camera' product names on e-commerce platforms including Amazon and bearing a 'Merlan' brand sticker, were never evaluated by UL Solutions and are not authorized to bear the UL Mark with cameras. The company recommends the products be immediately removed from service and discarded, noting it is unknown whether they meet any safety requirements.
