Beyond the safety aspect, dirty power stresses components in your much more expensive device instead, never good.

This is a very cheap 118W USB C MacBook Pro charger that appeals mainly on price and the included cable. The low cost and a few reports of it working make it tempting for a quick test, especially for charging a laptop or phone. The main concerns are serious, though, with repeated warnings about chargers failing within months, running very hot, and possibly overstating the wattage. The coupon also reportedly does not work, so the deal depends on whether the bargain is worth the safety and longevity risk.
