IKEA recalls electrical product which may cause thermal burns with repeated use

IKEA has issued a recall for an electrical product which may cause thermal burns with repeated use. 

The popular Swedish company is urging all customers who bought the ÅSKSTORM 40W USB charger (dark grey, article number 60461197) to stop using it and to contact IKEA for a full refund. 

IKEA has received reports that the power cable may get damaged or broken after being wrapped around the charger, or bent back and forth, after a long period of use; the damaged cable may lead to thermal burns and electric shock. 

The affected product can be identified by the model number ICPSW5-40-1 that is found on the label on the backside of the USB-charger. 

Customers can return their charger to any IKEA store for a full refund and proof of purchase (receipt) is not required. 

Customers can also contact IKEA Customer Services on 01 541 3302.
