Apple recalls international AC wall plug adapters due to risk of electric shock<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Apple just announced a voluntary recall of AC wall plug adapters for Macs and iPads sold between 2003 and 2015 in Europe, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, and South Korea, due to risk of electrical shock. But even Americans could be at risk if they use the affected adapters sold in the $29 World Travel Adapter Kit.</p><p>Apple is exchanging affected adapters with redesigned versions for free. How to tell if you have a recalled adapter: It looks like one of the two-pronged wall plugs below, and the inside slot of the adapter has either four characters, five, or none at all. The redesigned versions have a 3-letter regional code in that slot.</p><figure class="large "><img src="
