Swedish furniture company Ikea today issued a recall of its Askstorm 40W dark grey USB charger as wear and tear of the power cable could cause thermal burns and electric shocks.
In a notice that was posted on its website, Ikea urged all customers who purchased these USB chargers to cease their use, and to return them to any Ikea store for a full refund without a need for a purchase receipt.
The damaged cable may then lead to thermal burns and electric shock.
The affected product can be identified by the model number “ICPSW5-40-1” that is found on label on the rear of the USB charger.
