Apple Recalling iPhone 3G Power Adapters |
|
September 19, 2008
Today Apple announced the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange program for adapters sold with the iPhone 3G.
Apple has determined that under certain conditions the new ultracompact Apple USB power adapter's metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet, creating a risk of electric shock. The ultracompact USB power adapters were supplied with every iPhone 3G sold in the following countries, and may also have been purchased separately as an accessory. Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter. There are two ways to exchange your current ultracompact Apple USB power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter.
-
Order a replacement adapter via the web. These replacement adapters will ship within three weeks of your order, starting on Friday, October 10.
-
Exchange your adapter at an Apple Retail Store starting on October 10.
