Apple has determined that under certain conditions the new ultracompact Apple USB power adapter's metal prongs can break off and remain in a power outlet, creating a risk of electric shock. Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter.
There are two ways to exchange your current ultracompact Apple USB power adapter;
- Exchange your adapter at an Apple Retail Store starting on October 10th.
- Order a replacement adapter via the web.
Apple will send you a new power adapter along with instructions for how to return your original power adapter. Apple will provide you with pre-paid shipping materials postage paid for the return. Apple will require your iPhone 3G's serial number as part of the exchange process. Replacement adapters will ship within three weeks of your order, starting on Friday, October 10th.
