iPhone 5 Electic shock feels like sensationalism for self promotion.

There is no doubt that people have to be careful around electricity, but the headline associating the iPhone 5 with electric shock is simply playing to misreported information that has recently been appearing in the press.

iPhone5 Electric Shock: Australia’s Electrical and Communications Association Spearheads Campaign to Raise Safety Awareness... Read More

To my knowledge there has been no incidence of an iPhone 5 causing electric shock in Australia. Recently there was a report in the press of a New South Wales women being hospitalised due to an electric shock associated with an iPhone, later follow up reveal it had nothing to do with a mobile phone.

Be careful with the articles you read because you’ll end up believing what is basically false information being spread in the press. Yes you can buy low cost chargers on eBay and other overseas sites and they may be dangerous. Make sure if you’re saving money there isn’t a cost associated with that saving.

What would really help is if the list of devices where people have received electric shock was itemised and grouped so we could see where the largest risks are.
