There's 120 volts AC at potentially up to 20 amps going into that piece of plastic, with circuits composed of aluminum-coated-sawdust, and the dregs at the bottom of the electronics manufacturers discard bins, assembled by underage labour in Inner Mongolia by the cheapest sub bidder of the cheapest ODM in Shenzen, found via a web search by some schmuck in the big box store supply chain basement in New Jersey.
None of these people knew what they were doing, or would be liable in the case of some horrible accident, so they don't care.
The LED might not draw much power under normal conditions, but it could fail, and then close the circuit, creating a short for a while, long enough to burn...
I don't put such plastic "electronics" in my home, especially plugged into high power lines next to my children...
