If you have purchased a USB charger from IKEA, you might want to return it as soon as possible. Recently, the company urged everyone to stop using its ÅSKSTORM 40W USB charger and return it for a full refund. This is what you should know about it.

In case you didn’t know, the charger in question comes in dark grey and has the article number ICPSW5-40-1. According to IKEA, the power cable might be damaged due to it being wrapped around the charger and bent back and forth for a long time. Hence, the damaged cable may lead to thermal burns and electric shock.
