We don’t have the fakes problem but Amazon in the UK has a growing amount of stuff that is just resale of stuff from temu. I suspect if you tested the top 10 chargers on Amazon that weren’t anker, you’d find the same problems.

One of the many reasons (up to and including US foreign policy) I don't buy from Amazon any more.

I'd sooner give Argos the money, they aren't that much more expensive (if at all) for the common set of things they sell and I can walk and pick it up same day.

They broke the first rule of e-commerce - "Don't make the customer think".

I agree. They’ve also devalued prime - I used to know that prime meant next day, now it just means “free delivery” but it could be 2+ weeks depending on where it’s coming from.

argos are great. I ordered something from them for next day delivery and I had it 20 minutes later. The nearest Argos to me is about 15 minutes away so they must have been sitting waiting for orders.

One of the best usb chargers for the money is the 40W IKEA charger. I trust their quality control.

I wasn't aware that Ikea sold a charger, so I googled it - this is the very first result: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/customer-service/product-support/...

The fact they're even doing a recall tells you they care.

When people buy from Alibaba and resell it on Amazon, they're not bothering to issue recalls.
