Anyone know of any UL Certified 12v USB Charging Receptacles?

I added 4 receptacles to our new rig but I just picked them up off of Amazon without really thinking and am having a bout of paranoia. I don't want to burn up our new rig because of crappy receptacles.

I've looked but can't seem to find any that are UL Certified.

Thanks!

I doubt you will find any that are UL rated. At least not on Amazon as there just isn't enough market for it.

You could go with a general aviation usd charger. Probably better but not cheaper then Amazon

A USB charger might work better.

No need for UL approval - these are very simple devices. I've installed a bunch of them over the years in all kinds of vehicles and RV's. Never had an issue.
Even the one Arctic Fox wired backwards that kept blowing a fuse was fine once I corrected the wiring.

I also thought they were simple devices until one evening, while charging my iPhone, original USB charger installed in wall decided to pop and smoke up the place. Quality of chip used to convert 12v to 5v can matter. $10 extra dollars = peace of mind, at least for me.
