Apple has issued a voluntary recall of Australian AC two-prong wall plug adapters for Mac and iOS devices from between 2003 and 2015. The adapters were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. Apple has reported there have been 12 incidents globally of the adapters breaking, and creating a risk of electric shock.https://www.kotaku.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/16/pgroup-googlepublishercentre-kotbrandmark.png?quality=7510001080
