Just reading about the sad case of the NSW woman electrocuted with a USB charger that did not meet Australian safety standards.
see the video and story at:
NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe said a number of USB-style chargers, travel adaptors and power boards that did not meet Australian safety standards had been removed from sale at a mobile phone accessory stall in Campsie, in Sydney's south-west, following the death.
Mr Stowe said authorities were not aware until now of the large number of the cheap chargers that were available for sale in NSW.
"This is the first time we've been aware of them in large numbers," he said.
well, you can buy a cheap ebay "made in china" USB 1A charger for $1 including postage.
see:
I got three a long time ago (not this brand) to see what they were all about. I dropped one on the floor and the case broke open.
Pray tell, how will they stop world wide users buying these death traps?
Cheers Don...
