NOT AN APPLE PING!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
So thankful that everything worked out for you guys. God bless you.
It was probably mold release which can be anything slippery including silicone, latex and Teflon.
Everything is dangerous to someone.
The band I’m in is a family and me. They are “live off the land” types and butcher all their own animals. They drink only raw cow and goats milk.
And I’ve never seen such a batch of food allergies. They literally cannot eat at restaurants because “normal” food is poison to them in one way or another. And when we invited them over we had to make both corn and wheat based gravy because one was alergic to one and one was alergic to the other.
People are just different.
‘Course, I say this as a person that will eat anything put in front of me (even tripe soup) and am alergic to NOTHING so I might be a little callous in my thinking.
Thanks for the WARNING!
And so, people ... don’t get these KNOCKOFFS for Apple products, they can also be hazardous to your health!
When I was a biology teacher (retired after 32 years), I made sure that the lab gloves the kid wore were not made of latex. A little extra money but worth the expense.
I was in line at Walmart and a woman told me she had bought her dogs those cheap toys made in China at the checkout line. One was paralyzed for 24 hours after biting the toy. She said she would NEVER buy anything for her dogs made there. She said he recovered but the vet said whatever it was, there would have been nothing he could have done.
Really?
Did the girl lick the darn power cord?
Mold release is on every thing that is cast. Under most manufacturing conditions it is not washed off. It is generally pretty much innocuous. It is a good practice to clean anything purchased.
Young girls are sometimes prone to hysterical reactions, causes of are difficult to pinpoint. They are also not renowned for critical thinking common sense.
Peanut butter, latex...I don’t remember them making people ill when I was a kid 60+ years ago...
I used to work in a Music Store.
The box of Congo Drums made in China released the most HORRIBLE chemical odor upon being opened. Everybody (including the employees) RAN out of the store.
That was in 2007. Long before we found out they were poisoning our dog food!
Glad you are OK. But I gotta ask, you still kept the cord?
As you have stated, mold releases (whether product or packaging) are prime suspects.
Also, printed material may have similar powder (puffed onto newly printed sheets to prevent ink transfer from previous sheet.)
Consumer products don’t go through rigors of bio-compatibility studies, as medical product must.
Not just cheap charger cords. All molded plastic products are suspect. Keep the epipen close.
What’s going on with these strange allergic reactions? Peanut allergy has become epidemic.
We know you bought it at Walmart, and it would help to know who the manufacturer was. This cord is probably sold at a lot of different places.

Don’t mess around wit this! I had an allergic reaction to Cefzyl, an antibiotic. I got immense hives. I called my doc when they started on my cheeks. Called my doc. He told me to get to the emergency room immediately! I was in the hospital for 3 days! My reaction may have been worse than that of your niece’s, perhaps because it was in my whole bloodstream, and not just one local spot, but, DON’T MESS AROUND WITH THIS!
