[QUOTE="KS555, post: 1661802, member: 354252"] Yeah...safety is not something to play with. Apple Care was pretty willing to accommodate me at the time which was good. I called in since I am not near an Apple Store. It was awhile ago and I don't recall now whether it was intense sparking or an actual small flame. I think both but my memory could be playing tricks on me. But it was NOT safe and I dived for the outlet to pull it out. If the adapter is weak or faulty enough not to hold up to normal wrapping, make your case until someone listens to you. If it's really your fault, IMO sucking it up and buying another adapter pales in comparison to a fire in the house. I'm really careful now when wrapping that adapter, and I have to wrap it often and bring it with, but I still don't trust them. I try to be really careful with it - but still it's so easy to trip on them, or roll the chair wheel over it, wrap them too tightly, etc. I just try to be aware of where the cord is when moving around.
