This Poundland USB power supply was sent to me by Chris. He had inadvertently covered it with clothing and awoke to a strong hot circuit board smell. The power supply still works but has suffered thermal damage. This is common to most power supplies. It's really important not to cover them with anything that will limit airflow around them, as it causes excess heat and will shorten their functional life or at worst cause a fire.
