Anbernic have been doing a lot of shady stuff with their devices as of late, especially when it comes to QC. Doesn't suprise me they've cut corners elsewhere too.

Par for the course for Chinese companies.
Pretty sad, when I was first getting into these the anbernic 351mp was my first device. Loved that thing, looked and felt great.
I have a 351v that has been very hard to replace. I was originally going to go with one of their XX devices recently but instead decided to go with a pow kiddy v10 with the intention of eventually soldering a usb WiFi adapter on the inside.
The headline on the article seems a little sensationalized, implying that an entire genre of device is getting banned when one model that doesn’t meet environmental safety standards doesn’t has been banned.
Exactly why I replaced the headline when posting here to avoid that.
