It might get UL approval, but won't meet code here. Electrical code here does not allow mixing of 120 and low voltage in the same outlet box.
I'm curious to see more details about the product, they make it sound like it actually plugs into the existing outlet, rather than replacing it, so it seems more like it would be considered a wall plate and might not be be a code violation.
Here's what the site says.
Installation:
This item can be installed on any existing wall outlet.
We will have an installation video available shortly so that you can see exactly what is involved and if this is something you feel comfortable doing on your own or if you will need assistance.
