Η Apple σήμερα ανακοίνωσε ένα εθελοντικό πρόγραμμα αντικατάστασης μιας σειράς προσαρμογέων βύσματος φορτιστών AC σε μια σειρά από χώρες μέσα σε αυτές και οι Ευρωπαικές.
Η Apple αναφέρει ότι σε πολύ σπάνιες περιπτώσεις ο προσαρμογέας μπορεί να σπάσει ενώ είναι στο τοίχο δημιουργώντας τον κίνδυνο για ηλεκτροπληξία αν κάποιος τον αγγίξει.
Οι εν λόγω αντάπτορες πέρασαν στην αγορά μεταξύ του 2003 και του 2015 για τα Mac αλλά και για μια σειρά iOS συσκευών.
Όσοι θέλουν να ενταχθούν στο πρόγραμμα αντικατάστασης αυτό θα πρέπει να επισκεφτούν την σελίδα εδω έτσι ώστε να λάβουν έναν νέο προσαρμογέα.

CUPERTINO, California — January 28, 2016 — Apple® today announced a voluntary recall of AC wall plug adapters designed for use in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, New Zealand and South Korea. In very rare cases, affected Apple two-prong wall plug adapters may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched. These wall plug adapters shipped with Mac® and certain iOS devices between 2003 and 2015 and were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. Apple is aware of 12 incidents worldwide.
The recall does not affect any other Apple AC wall plug adapters designed for Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, United States or any Apple USB power adapters.
