Apple Recalls iphone 3G Ultra Compact USB Power Adapter

Apple has today announced that it is recalling the USB power adapter included with the iPhone 3G. It has been discovered that the new ultracompact Apple USB power adapter’s metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet, creating the risk of electric shock. Apple has received reports of detached prongs involving a very small percentage of the adapters sold, but no injuries have been reported. The ultracompact USB power adapters were supplied with every iPhone 3G sold in the following countries: US Japan Canada Mexico Colombia Ecuador El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Peru Countries where ultracompact USB power adapters were sold only as a standalone accessory: Argentina Chile Costa Rica Panama Apple USB power adapters supplied with original iPhones or supplied with iPhone 3G units sold in other countries are not affected. Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter. In the meantime, they should charge their iPhone 3G by connecting it to their computer with the USB cable that came with their iPhone or by using a standard-sized Apple USB Power Adapter (with fold up prongs) or with a third party adapter designed to work with the iPhone, such as a car charger. Apple adds that replacement adapters which will not be available until October 10th will have a green dot on them to make identification easier. Affected users may order a replacement adapter via Apple’s web-based form or in person at an Apple retail store beginning October 10th.
