News: Apple USB Ultracompact Adapter Exchange Program

Apple has announced that under certain conditions, the metal prongs on the adapter can break off and remain in the power outlet... creating a risk of electrical shock.

If your adapter has a green dot on it, it is not affected.

The ultracompact USB power adapters were supplied with every iPhone 3G sold in the following countries, and may also have been purchased separately as an accessory:

US
Japan
Canada
Mexico
Several Latin American countries (click here for a detailed list of countries)

Note: Apple USB power adapters supplied with original iPhones or supplied with iPhone 3G units sold in other countries are not affected.
