Apple said it is going to replace capability adapters sold with its popular iPhone 3G mobile telephones considering of a risk prongs will snap and cause society to be jolted by electricity.

“We have received reports of detached blades involving a very small percentage of the adapters sold, but no injuries have been reported,” - the California Company said on a Web page providing adapter exchange details. The part Apple is offering to replace is an “Ultracompact USB capability adapter” reportedly included with iPhone

3G models sold in Japan, Canada, Mexico, the United States and a half dozen South American countries.

“Customer safety is always Apple’s top priority, and therefore we have voluntarily decided to exchange every Ultracompact potential adapter for a new, redesigned adapter, free of charge,” - Apple said. Apple advises iPhone 3G owners to charge their handsets by plugging them into computers or with a standard-sized Apple ability adapter until the potentially problematic part is replaced.
