Reminder: stop using this Ikea charger.

After issuing recalls in Canada, Spain, the UK, and other countries last month, Ikea has recalled its Åskstorm 40W USB charger in the US. The charger’s cable is prone to breaking over time, which can pose burn and electric shock risks. You can return the charger to Ikea for a full refund, whether you have the receipt or not.
