Comsol phone chargers pulled from Officeworks shelves over electrocution risk
Popular phone chargers have been urgently recalled by a major Australian retailer due to electrocution concerns that could cause serious injury or death.
The Keji Dual Port USB Wall Charger 2.4A, Comsol 20W USB-C Wall Charger and Comsol Dual Port USB Wall Charger 3.4A/17W have all been recalled.
All three chargers are sold at Officeworks and supplied by Comsol Pty Ltd.
Customers who have purchased one of the chargers are urged to stop using them immediately.
There have been fears that the plug could break off the main body of the charges and expose the internal wires.
