Nokia today officially issued a recall covering about 14 million mobile phone chargers that the company says were built by a third party manufacturer. The last time Nokia issued this kind of massive recall was when they had faulty battery packs on some of their mobile devices.
Nokia said that the issue with the chargers is that there is a potential for a shock hazard due loose and exposed wirings. Nokia added that there have been no reports of injuries related to the chargers at this time and it is issuing the recall as a precaution. The chargers in question are model numbers AC-3E, AC-3U, and the AC-4U chargers.
These chargers were built between June 15, 2009 and August 9, 2009 for the 3E and 3U models and between April 13, 2009 and October 25 2009 for the 4U model. Nokia reports that the maker of the chargers, Chinese battery and auto part maker BYD Co., will be footing the bill for the entire recall. And in this regard, Nokia will issue a free replacement.
