If you notice:
Frayed cables
Cracked insulation
Bent plugs
Loose connections
Burn marks
Unusual heat
Buzzing or unusual noises
stop using the charger.
A damaged charger should be replaced rather than left plugged in.
Don’t Cover Chargers
Chargers and adapters need appropriate ventilation.
Don’t tuck a warm power adapter underneath bedding, clothing, cushions, or other materials that can trap heat.
Use Appropriate Chargers
Use chargers from reputable manufacturers and those appropriate for your device.
Cheap, poorly made, counterfeit, or damaged electrical products can present greater safety concerns than the simple fact that a charger is plugged in.
Appliance #3: Hair Styling Tools
This one is a big one for peace of mind.
Hair straighteners, curling irons, heated brushes, and similar styling tools generate significant heat.
If you’ve finished using one, unplug it.
Don’t rely solely on the fact that you’ve switched it off.
