Apple is recalling the brand new ultra compact USB adapter plug that came with the new iPhone 3G handsets. According to the manufacturer the blades of the plug can snap off and remain lodged inside the electrical outlet. This creates a risk of people getting electrically shocked.

So far no injuries have been reported - but the company does not want to take any chances and is asking for users to take advantage of their new exchange program. Through this program they will receive stronger plugs. On the Apple website they said, “Customer safety is always Apple’s top priority, and therefore we have voluntarily decided to exchange every ultracompact power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter, free of charge.”
