In April this year wrote TV2 about a 10-year-old from Bamble in Telemark receiving electric shock when iPadladeren went to pieces when hjun would take it out of the socket.
The National Communications Authority (Nkom), in contact with Apple to follow up on this charger can be dangerous also for others.
The father of the girl who got power charger is informed about the investigations.
– I’m very relieved that it is taken seriously, for this is serious, he said to TV 2.
When 10-year-old should unplug charger plug into the wall, loosening the two” teeth “from the rest of the charger and were left inside the plug.
gasping for air
The father wishes to remain anonymous for reasons of his 10 year old daughter.
The girl TV2 wrote about had received the iPad at school. She was one of about 200 students at the school who had received such a charge and iPad.
– I was sitting in the kitchen when I heard a constant roar. My daughter came running, his face white and terrified. I’ve never seen her like this. She gasped for air and unable to speak. Eventually I realized that it was something that had happened in her room. Then she showed me the charger for iPad. It had broken when she would take it out of the plug, told her father after the event.
Nkom considering that the use of chargers with the same weakness can endanger life and health, in that one can get serious injuries by electric shock.
The family of the girl was told by an electrician they got to see the charger afterwards that it could have gone seriously wrong if she had used two hands to get the charger out of the socket.
– When the power had gone through her whole body, and then she could have died, said the father.
Frightened
Home with the Telemark everyday with electronics become much stricter after the dramatic event.
– I check regularly about children have chargers in the room, they are not allowed to charge their products themselves, I do for them, explains the danger and says he was intimidated by the event.
School who had handed out iPads to students withdrew all chargers after the incident. 12 other chargers at the school have been diagnosed with the same weakness.
father of the family, who think this is a widespread problem on Apple chargers, want to prevent others from experiencing the same as he or worse – some lose their lives because of chargers.
– I want all parents to know about this so that they can be aware, it is very important so that we do not lose children because of this, he said.
Nkom now investigating the extent of the error and ask people who have an original Apple iPad charger that they suspect have the same errors contact the dealer or Apple customer phone.
