    Would be interesting to see a tear down of these to see how safe they are.

      First thing I found on the ikea website is a recall of the older USB charger.

        It says right there in your screenshot that it’s the CABLE that can become damaged.

        Like 90% of all the apple cables I’ve ever seen. But I guess that’s different.

          Yes, because they’re talking about the mains supply cable which carries hazardous voltages, not the charging cable.

          Nobody gives a crap if 5 volts is exposed. Many more craps are given once you get above a hundred volts.

          This is the point where I start to worry about my reading comprehension. It’s too late for a severe case of ADHD, and too early for a dementia. What the fuck, brain!?

        So electrical fires and melting/burning plastic agent a concern?

        I’m guessing IKEA will actually test these, so yeah, maybe safety isn’t as large if a concern. But I’m definitely not bullish on long term reliability.
