Apple is recalling approximately 814,000 World Travel Adapter Kits and wall plug adapters because the two-prong plugs can break and expose internal metal parts. These white plastic adapters were sold for use in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Continental Europe, and Korea, and were also included with Mac computers and iOS devices. Apple has received 12 reports of these adapters breaking and causing electric shocks to consumers overseas, with three individuals requiring medical evaluation. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected adapters and contact Apple for a free replacement.
The plastic housing on the two-prong wall plug adapters can break during use, exposing live metal components. This creates a direct risk of electric shock if a consumer touches the exposed metal while the adapter is plugged into a power outlet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wall plug adapters and contact Apple for free replacement adapters.
