I
f you own Apple’s World Travel
Adapter Kit (go.macworld.com/trkt),
and/or you are an owner of Apple
devices in Hong Kong, Singapore, or
the U.K., you should pay attention to a
recall that Apple has announced (go.
macworld.com/rcal). The three-prong
adapter used in these countries and that
comes with the kit “may break,” according
to Apple, and the company has recalled
the part.
To identify the recalled plug, Apple
says that it is, “white, with no letters in the
inside slot where it attaches to an Apple
power adapter.” If you have a three-prong
plug that is “white with gray on the inside
portion that attaches to the power
adapter,” you have the newer plug and
you’re good.HOW TO EXCHANGE THE PLUG
To exchange the plug, you need to contact
your local authorized Apple Service
Provider (go.macworld.com/auth) or make
a service appointment at your local Apple
Store (go.macworld.com/fnst). You’ll be
able to exchange the old plug for a new
one, free of charge. ■Apple recalls three-prong
