Product Safety Australia (PSA) has issued an urgent recall for the Askstorm 40W USB charger over fears users could be exposed to live wires while the product is in use.

The power cable can get damaged or broken exposing users to live parts of the cable.

PSA warns there is a risk of burn injuries or death from electric shock if a user touches a damaged cable that is live with electricity. There is also a risk of damage to property if the charger catches fire.

Incidents have occurred where cables were damaged and caused electric shock and burn injuries to consumers.

Consumers should stop using the affected product immediately and contact IKEA via phone or in-store to receive full refund.
