CPSC published a recall notice for Travel Charger Kits for Nokia Lumia 2520 Tablets from Nokia on June 18, 2014. CPSC identifies this hazard: 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.
