| Action | Forbes AAC emailed the safety advisory notice to all customers on 10/11/2021. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take:
To utilize the USB power adapter safely and reduce the possibility of heat-related injury or damage, plug the power adapter directly into a power outlet. Don t use the power adapter in wet locations, such as near a sink, bathtub, or shower stall, and don t connect or disconnect the power adapter with wet hands. Avoid prolonged skin contact with the charging cable and connector when the charging cable is connected to a power source because it may cause discomfort or injury. Sleeping or sitting on the charging cable or connector should be avoided.
Stop using the power adapter and any cables if any of the following conditions exist
The power adapter plug or prongs are damaged.
The charge cable becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
The power adapter is exposed to excessive moisture, or liquid is spilled into the
power adapter.
The power adapter has been dropped, and its enclosure is damaged.
Current production has added a label to the charger brick warning
customers not to use the charger if the cable is broken or damaged.
