IKEA Recalls Askstorm USB Chargers Due to Safety Concerns

Damaged Cables Pose Risk to Users

Urgent Recall Announced

Swedish furniture giant IKEA has issued an urgent recall for its Askstorm 40W USB chargers, citing safety concerns related to potential cable damage or breakage. Customers are strongly advised to stop using the affected chargers immediately and return them to IKEA for a full refund.

According to IKEA, the USB cables included with the Askstorm chargers may become damaged or break, posing a potential safety hazard. The breakage can expose live electrical components, increasing the risk of electric shock or fire.

IKEA emphasizes that the recall is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of its customers. The company is working closely with authorities to investigate the root cause of the cable damage issue.

IKEA encourages customers with any questions or concerns to contact its customer service department or visit its website for more information on the recall.
