About 6,900 European plug heads for NVIDIA SHIELD power adaptors are being recalled because the plug heads can break, exposing metal prongs and creating a danger of electric shock. These plug heads were included with NVIDIA SHIELD World Charger Kits, tablet computers, and TVs intended for use in Europe. While no injuries have occurred in the U.S., there have been nine reports of breaking overseas, including six reports of consumers receiving electrical shocks. Consumers should immediately stop using these plug heads and contact NVIDIA for a free replacement.
The plastic housing on the plug head can break and separate, exposing the internal metal prongs which pose a direct electric shock hazard to anyone who touches them while the adaptor is plugged in.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled European plug heads and contact NVIDIA for a free replacement.
