The plastic covers of the affected chargers could come loose and separate, exposing the charger&#8217;s internal components and potentially posing an electrical shock hazard if certain internal components are touched while the charger is plugged into a live socket. Nokia is not aware of any incidents or injuries related to these chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Only a limited number of chargers of certain model types manufactured by a single third-party supplier during a specific time period are within the scope of the exchange program. They are the AC-3E and AC-3U models, manufactured between June 15, 2009 and August 9, 2009; and the AC-4U model, manufactured between April 13, 2009 and October 25, 2009.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, including how consumers can check to see if their chargers are part of this exchange program, Nokia has established a website. Consumers are asked to visit <a href=\"http:\/\/chargerexchange.nokia.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/chargerexchange.nokia.com<\/a> or their local Nokia website.<\/p>\n<p>Nokia recommends consumers with chargers within the scope of this exchange program to stop using the charger and exchange it for a free replacement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Nokia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nokia is a pioneer in mobile telecommunications and the world&#8217;s leading maker of mobile devices.
