The countries under affect by this recall are as follows: US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, and Panama.
According to Apple’s support article: “Users with ultracompact power adapters should immediately stop using them until they exchange them for a new, redesigned ultracompact adapter.
In the meantime, they should charge their iPhone 3G by connecting it to their computer with the USB cable that came with their iPhone or by using a standard-sized Apple USB Power Adapter (with fold up prongs) or with a third party adapter designed to work with the iPhone, such as a car charger.”
Apple has stated that the new adapters will have a green dot on them to make them easily recognizable from the defective units. Users affected by this recall can order a replacement adapter here or at their local Apple store starting October 10th.
