WARNING: Kindle Fire power adapters recalled due to electric shock risk.
Amazon have announced that some adapters for Kindle Fire 7 inch and Fire Kids Edition 7 inch, sold in the UK and Ireland since September 2015, have been recalled.
The online retail giant has reported that when the adapter is removed from a power socket, there is a chance that the adapter assembly may detach and create a risk of electrical shock.
The Kindle Fire tablet is available in over 2,500 retail locations in the UK, including Argos, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Boots.
An Amazon spokesperson said: "Customer safety is our top priority, and we are proactively offering to replace these power adapters with a new adapter, free of charge. We encourage customers to exchange their original power adapters using the process on our website.
"Please discontinue use of your original adapter. Until you receive a replacement adapter, you can use the included USB cable connected to a computer or another compatible adapter to charge your tablet."
Affected adapters have the model number FABK7B.
