That's what I thought at first, Kemo...but discovered that the 12 volt plug right next to the USB outlets still worked, and no other outlets were affected. Oh, and the GFI wasn't tripped. I'm guessing the OP is having the same issue? I suspect it is just a poor quality, not suited to the area or the task.
Right next to the sink was a poor place to put the outlet, for sure. If it had even been put higher, it would have made more sense in terms of access from both sides of the sink hutch.
We already owned a 12 volt usb charger, so plugged it in the still functioning 12 volt outlet and put the charger on top of the hutch, where it can easily accommodate both kitchen and LR areas. And get phones up and away from a wet surface.
