Hi all please be careful if you have purchased a nintendo ds lite over the internet. i brought one via mail order as a present for my god daughter. To cut a long story short the charger exploded christmas day and it was very lucky that no one was hurt and a serious fire avoided.

The matter is now in the hands of trading standards all i know at the moment is that the charger was not an official one and apparently the machine is not a uk one i didnt know this at the time as assumed as purchased from a reputable uk based mail order company the ds and all contents would be meant for uk and be off genuine nintendo manufacture

Please ensure your charger is an official uk one the uk ones are grey and have the nintendo logo on them.

As i dont want any of you or your loved ones to get hurt by these dangerous chargers
