This 1 Common Phone Charger Habit Could Actually Be A Major Safety Hazard

Generic phone chargers are cheaper, but they can pose a safety risk.

We use our phone chargers every day to keep our devices alive. But the charger you pick can have long-lasting consequences to your safety. 

That’s because when you’re buying or replacing a lost iPhone, Android phone or adaptor charger, you may be tempted to get a generic, off-brand version. They typically are much cheaper than manufacturer-approved ones. They often promise to be for USB-C cables, which means they will charge faster.
