Charging Phones

I am sure that by now, most people have heard about the woman that reportedly died by an iPhone that was charging and then Apple was sued over it. Experts say that the likelihood of being electrocuted by a charging smartphone is very low because the supply voltage is about five volts which is not enough to harm someone. Of course this is assuming that all the devices are up to standards. But the risks become greater when someone powers a phone with a substandard or incompatible charger. Some knockoff chargers don't have proper insulation, potentially exposing users to overheating, fire or electric shock. With all the communications services, there are other options to be able to communicate. You are better off using a bit of common sense with electronics.
