Apple announced in a press release Thursday that it recalling some of its two-prong AC wall plug adapters designed for use in continental Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, Brazil and Argentina, due to fears that they may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched.

The affected plugs were shipped between 2003 and 2015 with Mac and certain iOS devices, and were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit.

The affected adapters have four or five characters or none at all on the inside slot where it attaches to an Apple power cord, as opposed to redesigned ones that have a 3-letter regional code in the slot, according to Macworld.

Apple noted that wall plug adapters designed for use in Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan and the United States - as well as Apple USB power adapters - are not affected.

In what Apple refers to as the "Apple AC Wall Plug Adapter Exchange Program," owners of faulty adapters can exchange it an Apple store, authorized retailer, or request a replacement online. Furthermore, the company said it would refund customers who may have already brought new plugs because of the issue, according to CNN.

The recall puts an end to a rough week for Apple. Though posting unprecedented numbers in profits in the last quarter, the results were marred by slowing iPhone sales. Later accompanied by a glitch with the search bar in Apple's Safari browser that caused the entire application to crash.
