Irish shoppers are being urged to check their homes after a mobile phone charger sold on Amazon was flagged due to serious safety concerns. <\/p>\n

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued an alert about the\u00a0YuSailng 65W Supervooc charger for Oppo, warning that the device could pose a risk of electric shock or even catching fire.<\/p>\n
