Nokia Recalls AC-3 and AC-4 Chargers

 Share this

9th November 2009

Nokia announced a major recall of mobile phone chargers today, asking consumers to return certain AC-3E, AC-3U and AC-4U units manufactured this year. The problem with the chargers is a potentially loose cover which could detach and reveal live electrical cables.

These chargers were sold mostly in North America and Europe. British three-pin chargers are not part of this product recall, and UK customers will only need to be concerned if they have bought a US or Euro-style charger for travelling.

The chargers at fault were manufactured by BYD of China - the faulty AC-3U and AC-3E units between June 15th and August 9th 2009, and the AC-4U chargers between April 13th and October 25th 2009. If you bought your charger before those dates, then you don't need to worry.

Nokia have set up a web site at chargerexchange.nokia.com which allows customers to see if one of their handsets is subject to recall. Nokia say that the cost of the recall will be covered by BYD.
