It's best to unplug any device being charged as soon as possible when it reaches 100%. Some devices prevent overcharging and some chargers prevent overcharging but it's much safer to assume they don't.
I second Nighthawk advice on only using known brand chargers with track record. Not only from a charging safety perspective but also from a malware perspective. USB ports are also data ports and an avenue for malware. That's why I usually avoid public USB charging stations (airports, etc.). When travelling I carry a charge only USB cable (no data capabilities) in case I need to use public USB charging.
