Have been using 3rd party chargers on all my DS's for years and never had a single problem. Nothing would happen.

You are cluching at straws to keep hating them for this 

I'm just telling you what the risk could be. I'm not hating on anything, i'm just stating the truth, which is why I also mentioned that if god forbid anything happened due to that charger it is very unlikely that Nintendo could link it to that, unless of course you actually went ahead and actually told them. Nothing I mentioned thus far is false.

Don't like it, ignore it. I would say something if Apple or anyone else with propietary accessories failed to include them too, and i'm a BIG iPhone fan.

1000 times this.
Always go for the original product if you can, even if it's 10 times more expensive.

risking a defective console/handheld would be the least of your concerns. 3rd party chargers, batteries etc. are much more prone to break, which can cause electrocution and/or fire.
