Default Halogen puck lights

I am getting so tired of writing these up and suspect many inspectors do not even bother.
Who sees a safety hazard here like I do?

Besides the "Made in China" label?



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

That whole sticker just screams law suit. Portable, but they give you the screws to attach it to your cabinet. Keep away from combustables, last I checked most cabinets are wood. And this all comes packaged with a beautiful UL listing. Who leaves these stickers on anyway, they look awful.
I dont believe that lamp cord wire they come with is aloud in the wall. But most important where was it plugged in at?
