Experts warn that counterfeit charging adaptors are increasingly sophisticated, making it challenging for consumers to identify genuine products. The deceptive adaptors often contain added weights to mimic the real Apple's official 20W USB-C power adapter, but their quality is inferior, risking electric shocks. Reports of severe incidents, including explosions and electrocutions, highlight the dangers. Electrical Safety First urges consumers to verify their chargers against guidelines provided by Apple to prevent injury or damage.
Criminals are working harder than ever to deceive consumers, with no regard for their safety in the process.
Apple offers an advice page to tell an official power adapter from a fake one, in an effort to prevent electrocutions and explosions due to dodgy devices.
These weights compromise the safety of the product, risking electric shock for the unwitting buyer who may not know the difference.
