The authority warns: 84 percent of aftermarket chargers are dangerous

A recent inspection by the National Trade and Consumer Protection Authority revealed that nearly 84% of USB chargers tested were unsafe. Out of 186 products examined, 156 were deemed hazardous, prompting their withdrawal from the market. The inspections focused on potential electric shock risks posed by poorly designed chargers, which may expose users to live electrical components. Experts assessed the safety of insulation, plug design, and the safety of travel adapters. Consumers are advised to purchase chargers from reputable stores and avoid suspiciously cheap products, discontinuing use if overheating or malfunction occurs.
