Ouch!!!  Careful with those cheap Chinese chargers.

slowhand53:

Dave:
It might have been a counterfeit charger? So it might have been a genuine Apple charger.

--- Quote ---Ma Ailun was apparently using a third-party charger with her iPhone 4, instead of one made by Apple. That's according to Xiang Ligang, a phone expert interviewed by CCTV earlier this week (Google translation), who suggested that the charger may have had fewer safety measures built into its hardware, and experienced a failure.

Lol. Especially when a lot of the fake stuff cones out of the same factories.
