Go Anker!
Oh wait...
You guys are either trolls or do not realize EVERY brand of electronics gets safety recalls these days
Apple recall while we are at it

With apologies, everyone except TeeJay should give Anker a try if they’re looking for new cables or chargers.
When my iPad charger blew in a power surge, I bought their 24W dual output, and 40W quad output USB chargers and haven’t looked back. Bought their cables and they’ve lasted longer than any Apple cable I’ve used, at half the cost.
Bought more chargers and cables as stocking stuffers this year, and they are a hit with all.
Last night I was offered double what I paid for my quad charger by another stranded passenger at the airport. Fast charging, low profile and as many ports as you need.

TeeJay and anyone else with recent head trauma shouldn’t because of a 2016 recall of one cable.
From the article he linked:
We're big fans of Anker at Android Police - the company provides reliable external battery and other accessories at very reasonable prices. But we have to tip our hats to Anker's response to Nathan's investigation and public posts demonstrating that the PowerLine 3.1 Gen2 cable (model number A8185011) had a dangerous flaw. Anker verified Nathan's findings, then emailed customers with an unconditional refund for the cable, or a replacement USB-C cable once the problem is fixed. Anker is further instructing customers to simply throw their faulty cables away.
TeeJay, I’m not sure if your phone or computer is broken, or you just write in broken English, but are you suggesting we avoid consumer products made by companies that have ever recalled a product?
OP suggested Apple Certified Anker products. The recalled product you mentioned wasn’t Apple Certified.
Or do you have something even more insightful to add to this discussion that is sure to change our lives as electronics consumers?
