Am I in danger of using non-apple charger for iphone 5C?

Okay so about a week okay my iPhone 5C charger stopes working. It was the chords problem, i don't know what happened. I live no where near an apple store and my moms cheap so she just got me an off brand charger for my phone. I have the chord plugged into the little cube thing that goes into the wall. It's been working great and I've been having no problems. But, I heard a story about how people have died from using non-apple brand chargers. Do you think I should stop using my non-apple brand charger? Because I've heard that they're not supposed to charger your phone, like a message will pop up saying, "this accessory may not support this devise," but that never happened with mine. So what's up with this and am I in danger with this device?

Its okay. It only takes much time to charge. But your phone is in danger if you plugged in on your car. Don't use any car charging accessories it harms your phone battery

No you can use other chargers, I've done this but I just make sure they aren't shipped from china as thats far lower quality.

  • Non Jailbroke iPhone stuck on apple logo? My Non jailbroken iPhone 4 is stuck on the apple logo. It died so I plugged it in and it won't turn all the way on. I tried turning it off but that doesn't work. I plugged it in to my computer and a message popped up on itunes saying "Please respond on your iPhone to allow access" but I can't respond on my phone because it is stuck on the apple logo.
  • NON-APPLE BRAND iPhone 5 lightning charger? I have had nothing but problems with the Apple Chargers. I've had three in one year and they've all broken after getting that wrinkle right by the plug-in. I want to know of a good non-apple charger (or I guess more specifically, a USB cord.) I don't really care about the price, I just want to know it will last me a long time.
  • Is there any Danger in Sharing your IMEI Number off your Phone? I'm selling my old iPhone as it's water damaged and just selling it for parts. Someone has requested to buy it and asked for the IMEI number. Just wondering if there's any danger in sharing this only through private message and also wondering why he would want it if the phone is broken.
  • Is a non-apple lightning charger bad for an iPhone 5? My roommate bought me a non-apple lightning plug and I was wondering how that could affect it. It is slightly larger than the original, but only people that know apple products well would be able to see the difference. Because of this you have to push the plug in, and then pull the plug hard. It gets almost stuck. Is this going to be bad to use for my phone? I've only had it for less than two months.
