Cheryl Alntegker mother of two children, lost her life from charging her mobile phone with a non genuine usb charger.

According to local authorities, the cost of the charger was just 3.50 euro, while was lacking the necessary insulating material that electronic devices should have.

The case is under investigation, but in the meantime, as mentioned in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Sydney police proceeded to seize electronic products from a store in the area suspected of not meeting the specifications.
