3 reasons not to leave the charger plugged in empty into a socket

Whether it is a phone charger, tablet or computer, we may be allowed to leave them plugged in without using them. This is not without risk, and it is for this reason that it is rather recommended to switch off a multi-strip if you do not want to disconnect the charger.
Fire risk
This is all the more the case if the charger is of poor quality or damaged. And for good reason, when its internal components are damaged, there is a greater risk of short-circuit or overheating. The transformer may cause a fire because the heat given off by the socket is not used. This is all the more dangerous in the presence of flammable objects. In the case of storms or thunderstorms, it is recommended that all appliances should not be disconnected in order not to create an overvoltage.
