What's happening? The charger might give you an electric shock because the USB port can become live with high voltage.

Does this affect me? If you own a Cubot phone charger, you could be at risk of electric shock.

What should I do? Stop using the charger right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for a safe replacement.
