Dangerous to Apple’s 1000% markup.
Why don't you try reading the article before you do a knee jerk response. when 397 out of 400 online 3rd Party devices FAIL basic safety tests, it's not that it dangerous to a properly designed device sold by Apple or one that meets Apple's certifications, it's a cheaply made knock-off made with minimal care for safety and to do it as cheaply as possible, especially when Apple's meet those standards.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong point, is it? As a fellow Engineer with close to 30 years of R&D under my (shrinking) belt, I actually take the time to READ the article.
The article does NOT say that 95% of nom-Apple branded chargers are garbage. If you would bother to read this, you would realize this. Companies like Belkin make great chargers. What the article DOES SAY is that ~95+% of the Apple COUNTERFEIT products ARE garbage. Companies that pose as Apple or say they make an equivalent Apple identical product.
See the difference? Reading is good. If you buy a knock-off iPod charger that looks identical to the Apple charger, but isn’t definitely made by Apple; odds are high that it is garbage.

Some folks take stuff way too seriously, don’t they?
