Thanks for the WARNING!
And so, people ... don’t get these KNOCKOFFS for Apple products, they can also be hazardous to your health!
A warning about buying from Wal-mart? Amazon has more iPhone knockoff stuff than any other place. And there are other products where people experience reactions and are not from Wal-mart (http://www.bestfitnesstrackerreviews.com/fitbit-force-review.html).
I concur; I buy only OEM for all my phone and computer stuff.
If, apparently, you have allergies.
My iPod sync cable is a third-party aftermarket one, since I broke the one that came from Apple. Since I am not allergic to anything, the latex or silicon or whatever it was that triggered the reaction in the poster's niece has no effect on me.
Just because some people have a negative reaction to certain foods or substances—be they latex, silicon, peanuts, gluten, whatever—doesn't make them bad for everybody.
