CPSC recall 14-209, announced June 18, 2014, covers Travel Charger Kits for Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablets (about 500 units). The plastic cover on the charger's exchangeable plugs can come loose and separate, exposing internal components that pose an electrocution hazard if touched while the plug remains in a live socket. The notice reports no incidents. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chargers and contact Nokia for instructions on receiving a full refund from Verizon Wireless or a credit from AT&T for the travel chargers and both will provide a free replacement U.S.-only charger for their Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet.
