The problem is Amazon. It's very sad but when you buy from Amazon you have no idea what are you buying because Amazon puts all the inventory for a given UPC code together -- if one seller decides to send fakes to the warehouse, all sellers will sell fakes. You can see this product is not sold by Amazon either -- it's by someone called "Sunvalley Brands" and it's merely fulfilled by Amazon. Right now this product has a single seller but you can't tell whether it had a fraudulent seller "poisoning" the stock yesterday. No, Amazon can't be trusted for chargers and most anything any more. Amazon Basics and other in house brands are protected -- if something is sold by Amazon and has no other sellers then and only then you might want to consider buying it there. Or, if you don't care about fakes.
