Dodgy chargers, shocking!
Trading standards recently released a report on dodgy chargers which have been infiltrating the UK from abrod, the chargers which are for a variety of thing from digital cameras to mobile phones although the majority are found in games consoles, there are a few ways to check if a charger is fake, firstly the price, it will be more expensive if it is genuine, at around £15 for a genuine one compared to 5 or 6 for the “dodgy” ones, sold by dell boy no doubt, lovely jubbly. The second is that they carry fake CE marks, although these can only be checked by a person who knows what they are looking for. The chargers themselves become dangerous when used for an extensive period of time, after a while the wires become disconnected and there is a very high chance of an electric shock, shame my mum just brought one, she is still alive though, …. unfortunately*. If in doubt about your charger, then check how much it cost and if still in doubt don’t use it unless you want the shock of your life.
*Joke, obviously it would be a shame if my mum died and i would be devastated…
