    I mean… yeah.

    This should not need specific mention. But it’s good that these warning exists, anyways. But it’s also kinda obvious, you’re ordering from Aliexpress/Temu. It’s like those shitty china cat fountains that run the 220V line into the water basin and convert the power there. Because hey, why only fry your pet a little…

      Most people are used to devices being at least somewhat safe. They don’t expect devices they buy from a large online retailer to be that bad. A flaw here and there, sure, but basically a 100% chance of death? Yeah, that’s not exactly to expect.

      The problem is this automatic litter box was bought from Amazon, which was being resold from Aliexpress. People have some level of trust in Amazon. Misplaced trust I would say, as it becomes littered with sketchy 3rd party sellers who have no responsibility to their customers.
