Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see a bargain...
not sure how to check the first one, but the second one is easy!
Imagine manufacturing,importing, packaging, distributing and stocking a top of the range electrical appliance like this for less than a fiver, and still making a profit...
On the other hand, why would you give the kids a plastic one when a real one is not much more?
Maybe it's the "small parts" warning?

Great vid Spoon !
Summary "you can definitely die" ...

That's not true, remember that the current will take all paths to ground, with the majority of the current flowing through the path of lowest impedance. Also using a bath as an example, everything that you're touching (the water around you) will be at the same voltage (or equipotential), meaning there's no potential-difference in voltage (or at least negligible).

Without diving further into electrical theory, a video is probably a better option...
