My advice is to buy nothing from AliExpress or Temu.
The issue here though is that these were being sold by AliExpress through Amazon. Amazon has much more public trust than companies like AliExpress or Temu, so people aren't going to be immediately suspicious of everything for sale on there.
Unless I know the manufacturer, I don't buy from Amazon either.
It's 95% junk. Need to start holding corporations responsible and not just going "oh, it's a third party seller! It's not our fault."
They're taking fuck knows how much in fees, and worth trillions of dollars. Fine them. Massively.
