Apple recalling iPhone 3G power adapters

USB power adapters sold with the iPhone 3G in the U.S. and certain other countries could possibly break and leave the metal prongs behind in an electrical socket. [via c/net]

"... No injuries have been reported, but Apple is warning users of those power adapters to stop using them immediately until they obtain a redesigned adapter. Check the bottom of your adapter: if there's a green dot, you've got the redesigned one and don't need to do anything. If there's no dot, it's time to replace that unit.

You can get a replacement unit at your local Apple store starting October 10, or you can order one from Apple's Web site here."
