Hundreds of thousands of unsafe chargers for mobile phones, games consoles and music devices could have made their way into the UK.

One of the chargers concerned has the code marking DE62347066. Others have no code and are called Travel Charger.

Their tests show one brand can overheat or cause electrocution.

Some chargers carry a CE safety mark which officers believe to be fake.

I think this is a difficult one for consumers, It would appear that even the mainline branded products are now predomantly being manufactured in China, particullarly Batteries and chargers, I have just bought a box of HP CDRs and they are made in china, and price and brand name is not always a reliance of quality.
