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.。

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.。
