I suggest not getting this for your safety

Care to explain why?

I'm guessing a fire or short of some sort, but is it personal experience. A bunch of reviews stating something? Etc? Need more details to explain why such a negative comment.

I don't see negative reviews for faulty equipment. Actually, this has great reviews and has been on Amazon since last November.

This look exactly the same as the other 2pack for $8 but different brand.

While UGREEN does participate in the MFi certification program, this particular item is NOT MFi certified. Just an fyi.

Source:
Amazon shows model as "CD241"
https://www.ugreen.com/products/2...-c-charger (shows model as "10219")
Neither show up in the MFi datebase: https://mfi.apple.com/account/accessory-search

I don't think I have ever seen an MFi certified charger.

A charger cannot be mfi certified. Only lightning cables or lightning-based accessories

Not UL or ETL listed, Chinese seller, fake reviews, runs on mains electricity. A winning combination. I wouldn't let it run unsupervised.

Yeah, I am aware they potentially can be but I have never seen one. Do you have a link to any?

I believe lightning receptacle is a female lighting port.

I am fairly confident (but not 100%) that it is not possible to mfi certify a usb charger alone. It simply wouldn't be able to be certified unless connected to a phone (through a lightning cable) in which case the charger is now a component in an overall solution and cannot be certified by itself.
