BURLINGTON — IKEA announces that they are recalling their ÅSKSTORM 40W USB charger, due to thermal burn and electric shock hazards caused by wear and tear of the power cable.

Despite this, it has come to the company’s attention that the power cable on the ÅSKSTORM 40W USB charger dark grey may get damaged or broken, after being wrapped around a charger or bent back and forth after a longer period of use.
