Where did you buy the chargers? I haven't heard of a problem with Apple chargers (doesn't mean there couldn't be one) but have seen numerous reports of problems with 3rd party chargers. The following may have some information: https://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/

What are you calling a "charger"? The thing that plugs into the wall, or the cable from that thing to the phone? Assuming its the thing that plugs into the wall, are you sure it was an Apple "thing", either that came with a new phone, or that was purchased at an Apple store. There are lots of counterfeit "things" that look exactly like real Apple products.
