And will the insurance company say when they find out that the fire started from the junk metal-and-plastic piece you shoved into the socket?
Even if they don't know or care right now, they will in the future if (or when) it becomes a problem.

There's that. We clearly need some third party testing these products. UL and CE tags receive little or no verification. The results of said testing was that the majority of cables could possibly damage your phone, if I recall correctly.
