<A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/21/dodgy_dangerous_power/">Cheap replacement chargers are flooding UK shops</A>, undercutting legitimate products while putting punters in danger from badly-made connections and low specifications.
The chargers, some of which bear a forged CE mark, are sold on the cheap and branded as "Travel Chargers". Trading Standards has issued a specific warning about discount chargers for the Nintendo DS, as well as those marked with an item number of "DE62347066", but the problem is much broader than that.
