    Just don’t buy the cheap pieces of crap at the checkout counter at 7Eleven, or the ones from China that are 25¢ per dozen on Amazon, and you’re probably okay. Get a recognized brand one on sale or closeout etc.

      Same advice I gave to Nintendo Switch users when they ask about chargers that are safe for the Switch, unsurprising it’s applicable for all chargers in general.
