This is what I call a hub:

or
https://www.amazon.com/Powered-Trans...N099SW7RB4F3K9

So they can be called either "hub" or "Adapter" (when they support charging high current devices).

Manufacturers of chips will recall them when they are found to be a defective design.
Not for safety, but to maintain their reputation for quality, rather than for the lack of it.
