  Common man, you can’t just come along and counter a claim with ‘no it’s not’ on a platform like this for a topic that isn’t so clearly common sense.

      I am so sorry! It seems that my app’s darkmode doesn’t seem to distinguish between links and standard text very well.

      Judging by the amount of upvotes my comment got and noone corrected me before you I assume this is a common issue (or my app is one of the more common ones).

  Tho finding CE marking on goods that shouldn’t have them (typically from china bought via ebay/ali/etc) is not particularly hard.

  But yes, even my company has had mishaps with the CE logo on our products, and in that case it’s not because we are trying to be misleading. The primary reason in our case was that the laser printer software is shite and sometimes just changes things for “fun”.

    That’s true but then it’s a story about companies being deceitful and not Le Evil China creating a confusing mark to trick people
