It's not been the best week for Apple.

Yesterday a glitch in the firm's Safari browser caused iPhones and Macs to crash now Apple has confirmed it's recalling some of its chargers.

Apple is recalling AC wall plug adapters designed for use in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, New Zealand and South Korea.

The firm says that "in very rare cases, affected Apple two-prong wall plug adapters may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched."

According to the US tech firm these wall plug adapters were shipped with Mac and certain iOS devices between 2003 and 2015.

Although UK plugs aren't affected the issue has also been found in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit.

Apple confirmed that it is aware of 12 incidents worldwide.

The recall does not affect any other Apple AC wall plug adapters designed for Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, United States or any Apple USB power adapters.

Because customer safety is the company’s top priority, Apple is asking customers to stop using affected plug adapters.

Customers should visit apple.com for details about how to exchange the affected adapters for new, redesigned ones.

An affected two-prong plug adapter has either four or five characters or no characters on the inside slot where it attaches to the main Apple power adapter.

Apple users can visit the programme website for more details on how to identify an affected adapter.
