The 28-year-old, from the Philippines, was to start work as a theatre nurse at Gosford Hospital within days of her death. Authorities used Ms Aldeguer's death to warn consumers against buying rip-off USB-style chargers. The young woman was wearing headphones and holding her laptop when she was found dead with burns on her ears and chest, in an apparent electrocution.

Yewheng Twincharged June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 (edited) Any hints for good fortune ? 4-D izzit ? This electricity mishap happened last week Hong Kong trip, nearly returning NRIC.. Bad QC. Afterall aftermarket products mostly are okay, but then there are some which have bad QC and we would never know. So ya, count yourself blessing. Even original products if bad QC will also suffer the same fate, just that the chances of it happening is a lot lower as those original item went through stringent check and QC, although there maybe just a tiny % that is still not check properly ( possible ) and whoever have that item, well.. count themselves bad luck..

I am lucky to have walked away before it exploded in flares. Thank God you are safe (is it HKG ?) Just for your info, don't go use cheap Power banks... Polymer Lithium Ion cannot have tiny air sacs in the dough, if too many the Battery can catch fire and/or explode... Cheap Power banks QC is highly questionable... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic June 27, 2014 Author Share June 27, 2014 Some of these charger are really, really dangerous. If you open up one, you would probably see how dangerous and thin the wiring are and direct connect to 230Vac, use of very few components (to cut cost) and absolutely no protection if something happens. That's why it's cheap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
