IKEA is recalling about 22,600 ÅSKSTORM 40W USB chargers because the power cable can become damaged or break over time. This defect poses burn and electric shock hazards to users. Globally, IKEA has received 17 reports of incidents, including five reports of burns and four reports of electric shock, though no injuries have been reported in the U.S. The gray chargers were sold at IKEA stores and online for about $30 between April 2020 and December 2023.
The power cord on the charger can wear down or snap after frequent use, exposing internal wires that can cause an electric shock or overheat and cause thermal burns.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chargers and return the charger to any IKEA store for a full refund; or, if you are unable to return it to a store, contact IKEA for instructions on how to dispose of the ÅSKSTORM 40W USB Chargers to receive a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required to receive a full refund.
The product consists of a charger and a detachable power cord with a C7 connector and a plug.
