Hong Kong's Consumer Council tested other brands with 13 out of 15 products not up to international standards.

A USB charging port made by leading Chinese manufacturer Ldnio could be dangerous and Hongkongers should stop using it immediately, the city’s Consumer Council said on May 14.

The watchdog issued its warning for the extension socket after tests discovered multiple faults that in some instances could lead to people getting electric shocks.
