Either you have a really cheap USB power source, or your house wiring is faulty.


Is this an actual painful shock, or a tingling sensation? Tingling can be from parasitic energy picked up from the environment and is harmless. If it is a shock stop using that power source and outlet immediately, and call an electrician to check your house wiring. And check with Apple support:
