Apple recalls ‘electrical shock risk’ power adapters

Some plugs for iPhones, iPads and Macs used in Europe, Australia and elsewhere at risk of breaking and giving electric shocks

Apple is recalling some power adapters sold with Mac computers, iPhones, iPads and iPods since 2003.

The affected adapters were made between 2003 and 2015, and use a two-prong plug into the power socket, used across Europe, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and South Korea. They were also included in Apple's World Travel Adapter kit sold in the UK and US.
