A third-party charger for Apple gadgets may be a lot cheaper than the ones hanging off shelves at the Apple Store, but a vast majority of those chargers aren't safe, a new study has concluded. 。
The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI), a UK association representing trading standards professionals, has tested 400 counterfeit chargers for Apple products, the 。 BBC 。BBC 。

It's unclear, however, how "counterfeit" chargers, which were bought online from eight countries, were defined in the testing. Chargers and other Apple accessories range from extremely cheap, no-name products to quality, branded products that are built by a third-party manufacturer. In other words, there may be a big difference between using a cheap plug from an unknown brand and using a plug meant for a Samsung Galaxy to charge your iPhone. 。
It's also unclear whether the chargers tested were for iPhones, MacBooks, other Apple devices or all of the above. 。 We've contacted CTSI to find more about the methodology, but have not yet heard from them.。
