What happened

This recall involves Koracell mobile phone chargers sold for LG and Sony Ericsson phones. The chargers are black and come in blister packs marked "Koracell, mobile world" with model numbers including LG KG 800, LG 7050, and Sony Ericsson K750. The recalled chargers have the designation MS-TC-004E/1 on the product itself, input rating AC 90V-250V, output DC 4.5V-12V, and were made in China.

The chargers pose a serious risk of electric shock due to multiple safety defects, including inadequate insulation between the primary and secondary windings, improper clearances and creepage distances, connector wires that could bypass insulation, non-compliant plug sizing, and missing reinforced insulation requirements. The chargers also fail to meet electromagnetic emission standards and lack proper power rating and frequency markings. The importer has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market and is conducting a consumer recall, though the source record does not specify what actions affected consumers should take.
