\"Genuine<\/a>Have you purchased what you thought was a genuine Apple USB power adapter for your Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod only to discover it’s a counterfeit?\u00a0 Are you nervous about using it after reading some of the recent articles about people being shocked by their chargers<\/a>? Kicking yourself that you didn’t get a genuine Apple power adapter<\/a> from a trusted source?<\/p>\n

Well, now is the time to take action.<\/p>\n

Apple has introduced, for a limited time, a USB Power Adapter Takeback Program<\/a>. Essentially, you turn in your ‘questionable’ adapter to Apple to be properly recycled and they’ll drop the price on a replacement adapter to $10.00! See the link for complete details, but act quickly as this offer is only valid through October 18th, 2013.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that while there are reports of people being shocked by counterfeit<\/em> Apple and fake\/non-UL certified third party chargers, not all third party chargers are going to have issues. That’s why we\u00a0sell both genuine Apple units<\/a> as well as true UL certified, quality chargers<\/a> that have passed OWC’s stringent approval process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
