Apple Forced To Recall iPhone 3G Power Adapters
Boston (dbTechno) - Apple has issued a recall of iPhone 3G USB power
adapters.
These adapters shipped out with every single iPhone 3G in the U.S., Japan,
Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.
The adapters sold with the original iPhone are not impacted by the recall
though.
Apple put out a recall notice on Friday, stating "Apple has determined that
under certain conditions the new ultra compact Apple USB power adapter's
metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet, creating a risk of
electric shock."
"We have received reports of detached blades involving a very small
percentage of the adapter sold, but no injuries have been reported."
If you are impacted by the recall, you can exchange your adapter for a new
one from the Apple site.
They will begin to ship out, the replacements, on October 10th.
Consumers can also make the switch at any Apple retail store starting
October 10th.
Those with a green dot at the bottom of their power adapter are said to
already have the new device.
