Tragic if true, but phone chargers are more likely to be a choking hazard.
The story headlines, Toddler killed after putting a phone charger lead in her mouth while it was plugged into the wall.
Possibly an earth loop condition if the charger cable was put in a mouth and a hand touched a metal earth?
There would need to be a forensic examination of the scene, including testing of the electrical installation and a dissection of the charger by a lab with the technical skill and reputation of TUV.
The world is awash with dangerous budget and fake chargers, so this story might be possible, but not with correctly made chargers. However, it is likely the phone would have died first.
