Nokia Recalls 14 Million Chargers

Nokia has launched a massive recall after it was determined that chargers made by the company earlier this year could be faulty and potentially dangerous.  The recall includes approximately 14 million chargers globally.

The world’s biggest mobile phone maker warns that users could get an electrical shock from using the chargers and promises to replace them for free.

If you are trying to determine whether you might be affected by the recall, here is some information:

• The recall is not in effect for chargers sold in China, Britain, Brazil and Argentina.
• The potentially dangers models are the AC-3E and AC-3U, manufactured between June 15, 2009 and August 9, 2009 and the AC-4U model, manufactured between April 13, 2009 and October 25, 2009.
• If you live in Europe, chances are you bought an AC-3E charger whereas the two other models were sold in North and Latin America.
