Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20131216-EBC07-2147448994. Matched catalog product: Apple Macbook Pro. Incident: I'm worried that my laptop charger could cause a fire or produce a harmful electric shock. My wife and I have MACs and the wires are completely frayed on the charger. The worst part is, together we've had to replace 4 chargers over the last 3 years (on just 2 computers) because of this problem. We've had a 100% fail rate.
