According to BBC News, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) applied high voltage to the chargers to test for sufficient insulation and other safeguards. As a result of the testing, the agency concluded that unknown chargers purchased online were an "unknown entity" and hazardous.Did they do the same to Apple's chargers? I don't see it mentioned.
Also, where would one accidentally plug into "high voltage"?

They ARE REQUIRED for the UL or CE label that is clearly indicated on every consumer product Apple sells (and 99% of every other LEGITIMATE company) that does business internationally. The problem lies that the CE and UL labels are counterfeit as well as the product, as counterfeit companies are inherently not legitimate companies.
