Nokia is replacing potentially dangerous phone chargers for free, the mobile giant said Monday.
The recall affects 14 million chargers, according to the Associated Press.
The affected chargers are manufactured by third-party suppliers, Nokia said. A loose cover could potentially expose the charger’s internal components and thus pose an electrical shock hazard if accidentally touched during use, the company said.
Chargers involved in the exchange are 2-pin types and include the AC-3E and AC-3U models manufactured between June 15 and August 9, 2009, as well as the AC-4U model made between April 13 and October 25, 2009. A Nokia site offers more information.
