p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- Apple has recalled every power adapter sold with its iPhone 3G, or bought separately as an accessory.

The metal prongs can, “break off and remain in a power outlet, creating a risk of electric shock,” it admits.

“Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter,” warns the company, emphasising the urgency in boldface letters.

Meanwhile, 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, states Apple.

But, “If you have an ultracompact adapter with a green dot on the bottom, you already have a new, redesigned adapter and do not need to participate in this exchange program,” says the company.
