Although it’s not that uncommon to see borderline separation between the high and low voltage sides of a USB power supply, there are some that have jaw-dropping design errors that result in sub millimetre separation. In this case around 0.2mm! And it was just completely avoidable. The component that violates the already poor separation could easily have been put in a slightly different location well away from the clearance zone.
I believe these plugs may have come from Poundworld but latterly been recalled. If you have one I would not recommend its use for anything with exposed connections.
Shame reallym, since it does actually hold a fairly solid 5V at an Amp.
