Kindle Adapter recall

[Deleted]

I took the replacement

Dear customer,

We have determined that, in rare cases, when the power adapter included with the UK Fire 7" and UK Fire Kids Edition 7" tablet is pulled from the wall socket, the adapter assembly may detach and create a risk of electrical shock.

Customer safety is our top priority, and we are proactively offering to replace affected power adapters with a new adapter, free of charge. There are two options for replacing your adapter:

1. We can apply a £12 credit to your Amazon account so you can purchase a power adapter of your choice.

2. We can send you a free replacement adapter.

Click here to find out more information and select your preferred option.

Please discontinue use of your original adapter. Until you receive a replacement adapter, use the included USB cable connected to a computer or another compatible adapter to charge your tablet.

Whichever option you select, we will be sending you a pre-paid return envelope so that you can send back your original power adapter. Please contact Customer Service if your power adapter appears to be damaged.

Power adapters shipped with Fire HD and Fire HDX tablets, and power adapters available in other countries, are not affected by this issue and do not need to be exchanged.



Thanks for being a customer,

Amazon Customer Service

Those Anker usb chargers are a great investment. I have a 5 port one can charge my Kindle my 2 phones my VC4 battery charger and a cordless mouse. Rarely need them all at once but it is an option.
