The dangers could affect products sold 2003 and 2010.

Apple has announced that some of its plugs could give their owners an electrical shock.

It has announced a voluntary recall of certain AC wall plug adapters after confirming they can break and pose a safety risk.They were sold with Mac computer and mobile devices between 2003 and 2010, as well as part of the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. ‘An affected three-prong plug adapter is white, with no letters on the inside slot where it attaches to the main Apple power adapter,’ the company said in a blog post.‘Because customer safety is a top priority, Apple is asking customers to stop using affected plug adapters.’

Apple said it was aware of six incidents worldwide involving the plugs, but the recall did not affect its USB port-based adapters.
