... bought this adapter a year ago and I really like it however it recently died

I bought this adapter a year ago and I really like it however it recently died, at first it seemed to stop working with certain outlets but in reality the connection between the macbook connecting cord and the block started to fail and stopped working all together a few days later. it even shorted itself a bit when i tried unplugging and plugging back in resulting in a bit of smoke. It really is a shame because I enjoyed the charger a lot while it lasted, I much preferred this to the original mac charger but the mac charger did last longer.
