There’s a 50/50 chance you’re getting a counterfeit that isn’t UL tested so you don’t know it’s safe, and that’s if you can even find the product at all hidden between the random name generator company listings for random garbage that’s slightly similar to the search term you entered.

Don’t even get me started on phone chargers. Good fucking luck. The cheap knockoffs are such a fire hazard too I stg
As with all electronics, just look for products with UL or ETL certification and you should be OK.
Thanks I’ll keep that in mind for the future

Same. I use their chargers, cords, ear buds, and speakers and all have worked great with no issues.
