Nokia Recalls 14 Million Cell Phone Chargers

Nokia has recalled 14 million cell phone chargers manufactured by a third-party supplier, the American Foreign Press reports. The company says that a plastic cover on some models could come loose and expose internal components that could cause injury while the charger is plugged into a live socket. Nokia says no injuries have been reported.

Chargers made by subcontractor BYD, including the AC-3E and AC-3U, manufactured between June 15 and August 9, and the AC-4U, manufactured between April 13 and October 25, could potentially cause electric shock. Europe and North and Latin American markets are affected, though the recall does not concern the UK, China, Britain, Brazil, and Argentina.

Users can exchange their charger for a new one, free of charge, by navigating to Nokia’s charger exchange program.
