Nokia has halt the sales of the
Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet around the world due to the fact that the charger could give the users an electric shock. Therefore, Nokia is warning owners of the Lumia 2520 tablet to stop using the charger.
Also, some parts of the European countries which include; Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and the UK are advised to suspend use of the AC-300 charger of the Lumia 2520 tablet. Nokia also urges people in those countries and in the USA not to use the travel charger accessory too.
Nokia:
"a potential product quality issue that may potentially lead to a safety concern" in certain AC-300 chargers, which are manufactured by a third-party supplier. The
charger in question is only used for the 2520 slate, so other Nokia phones and chargers are fine. "Under certain conditions," Nokia
warns, "the plastic cover of the charger's exchangeable plug could come loose and separate. If loose and separated, certain internal
components pose a hazard of an electric shock if touched while the plug remains in a live socket."
"We apologize to
the owners of the Lumia 2520, and we are working with urgency to minimize the inconvenience."
Nokia also admits that without the charger the tablet is "virtually useless".
