Apple has issued a recall of all the USB power adapters that shipped with the iPhone 3G. Apple received information that the metal prongs on the power adapter were breaking off and getting stuck in people's outlets. The risk here is people may get shocked or hurt trying to remove the broken prongs.
The adapters were shipped with iPhones to US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Peru.
Apple issued this statement:
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.
iPhone owners will be able to replace their chargers on October 10th. The new charger will feature a green dot, as a way of identifing it as fixed.
