Warning: Recall of UK Wall Charger supplied with some iSticks

[Big Me]

Heads up for anyone who bought an istick that was supplied with a 3-pin UK wall charger.

If your charger (AC/DC adapter) is Model number: JD-050-050 DO NOT USE IT. The charger I received came in a yellow box with the word "Charger" printed in black on one side.

There is a risk of electric shock.

"The adapter poses a risk of electric shock because the electrical insulation is not sufficient. The internal supply wires and mains conductor pins are not fixed adequately to maintain their position.

The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards of EN 60950."
