Most likely will be fine. Thousands upon thousands use third party cables and there was one story of a person using a third party thirty pin charger that exploded. A few more here and there. Chances of something happening are very very slim, particularly if the cable had a good rating on amazon.

I use third party cables at home, office and in my car daily and have never had a problem. If anyone is interested the brand I use is iSound.

Okay thanks, sounds like its the charger pin/plug that's more of the concern then.
