Online retailer Amazon is recalling some Kindle Fire plugs over fears they could pose an electric shock risk.
Devices sold after September 2015 may have chargers that are at risk of breaking and causing electric shocks.
It sent out an email to customers saying: “We have determined that, in rare cases, when the power adapter included with the UK Fire seven-inch and UK Fire Kids Edition seven-inch tablet is pulled from the wall socket, the adapter assembly may detach and create a risk of electrical shock.”
Amazon stressed the problem lies specifically with the power adapters, rather than the tablets themselves.
The firm added: “This issue…is rare. We wanted to proactively reach out to customers out of an abundance of caution.”
