Fears Ipad charger can be dangerous to use – Fædrelandsvennen

Could endanger life and health.

The National Communications Authority (Nkom) are in contact with Apple to follow up a type Ipad chargers that can be dangerous to use, writes Nkom on its website.

Nkom state that they have been contacted by a school of Telemark, where a student got an electric shock when she handled a charger was defective.

Primary pupil pulled out an original Ipad charger from an outlet, and then loosened pins in the plug portion of the plug. These were left standing in contact, and the pupil got an electric shock when she tried to pull the plug. The school has dealt iPad to around 200 pupils

The defect may not be a one-time event, and Nkom has therefore started investigations.

– Both Apple and we take this very seriously and have started investigations of chargers. Twelve of these have been diagnosed with the same weakness, says section chief in Nkom, Tor Bringsverd to us.

He says that Apple has sent representatives from the US who visited the school and Nkom

– We feel that Apple has been exceptionally thorough, but have so far not received any indication of how widespread this error can be.

Nkom considering that the use of chargers with the same weakness may endanger human health, in that one could potentially get serious injury from electrical shock.

– Taking on the two pins, each with its own when the plug member is in the socket, it will flow through the body, which ultimately can be fatal explains Bringsverd.

Nkom will follow up the case based on the results of the investigations.

Nkom encourage people who have original ipad Charger and that the suspect has the same mistake, to contact their dealer or Apple support phone number. 800 56 952 or http://www.apple.com/no/support/
