Apple today issued a voluntary recall for certain two-prong AC wall plug adapters designed for use in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, New Zealand, and South Korea, due to the risk of electrical shock if touched in very rare cases.

The recalled wall plug adapters shipped with some Mac and iOS devices sold between 2003 and 2015, and were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. The recall does not affect any other Apple AC wall plug adapters designed for the U.S., Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and United Kingdom, or any Apple USB power adapters.

Apple has posted a AC Wall Plug Adapter Exchange Program with more details for affected customers.
