As it happens today I've binned an 'Addis Cutlery Drainer' that's had a hard year of occasional sunshine UV exposure holding our toothbrushes.
It's crumbling similarly and bits are now easily snapped off. I'd say at a guess it's made of the same type of disintegrating cheese where I think (looking at google) they may have left out the necessary UV stabilising additives. These things are meant to have a 10 year guarantee!
You really are something else.
God knows what, though.

You are so selfish that your only thought is that I was complaining. I wasn't. I was warning other people on this NG that there's a potential problem that could lead to an electric shock or fire, possibly.
There's a clue in the OP that ought to have penetrated your self-centred brain, where I say: "Just a minor warning:".
And, yes, of course, I've thrown the extension lead away, and next time I buy one it will be a better make. However cheap the original lead was, it doesn't excuse it being hazardous.

You just show yourself up as an idiot when you ask inane questions. Clearly, the answer to your stupid question is that the damage may not be immediately apparent.

If the damage is not apparent, how do you know its faulty at all?
You missed out a key word in order to make a daft point. I said immediately apparent.
In my case, only the side of the extension lead facing the sun was brittle. Since I normally only saw it from the other side, the first I knew of the problem was when I picked up the extension lead, the plastic crumbled away, and my fingers were in direct contact with the conductors. Fortunately, I had the earths towards the windows, so I was earthed rather than shocked.
