Travel Charger Kits for Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablets

  • Brand Nokia Inc., of Sunnyvale, Calif.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Nokia is recalling Travel Charger kits sold separately for the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet, also known as AC-300 charger accessory kits. The kits include four exchangeable plugs for use in electrical outlets in the U.S., U.K., EU, and Australia. The plastic covers on these plugs can come loose and separate, exposing internal components that create an electrocution hazard if touched while the plug remains in a live socket. U.S. chargers sold with the tablet itself are not affected by this recall.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled Travel Charger kits should immediately stop using them. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Nokia for instructions on receiving a full refund from Verizon Wireless or a credit from AT&T. Both carriers will also provide a free replacement U.S.-only charger for the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet.
