Apple recalls their Ultracompact USB Power Adapter

September 23rd, 2008

iPhone 3g owners received the preceding sms message yesterday afternoon.  Turns out “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.”  Apple is offering replacement via orders on their website at http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter/exchangeprogram/ or through their retail stores starting Oct. 10.
