Nokia Recalls Cell Phone Chargers
If you are one 14 million Nokia cellular
phone buyers pay attention to this: Nokia
issued a recall on its cellular phone
chargers, saying they could be dangerous for
users and will replace them free of charge.
he chargers, bearing Nokia's name and made
by Chinese battery and auto part maker BYD
Co., are models AC-3E and AC-3U,
made between June 15 and Aug. 9 this year;
and AC-4U, manufactured between April 13 and
Oct. 25, 2009. They were mostly sold in
Europe and North America and Costa Rica.
Nokia said the chargers' plastic covers
might work loose and expose wiring, which
could cause an electric shock if touched if
the charger is plugged into a socket. It
said it had received no reports of injuries
or accidents related to the chargers.
Nokia is the world's largest mobile phone
maker with an estimated 38 percent global
market share of all mobile devices. In the
third quarter it sold 108.5 million units.
If you recently purchased a Nokia cellular
phone, it is likely you have one of the
recalled chargers, it is the one with the
small connector, compared to Nokia's older
cell phones with the large connector end.
