Apple has recalled the new ultracompact universal serial bus adapter plug that shipped with millions of iPhone 3G handsets. The plugs, according to the device maker, can snap off so that the blades remain inside an electrical outlet, creating a risk of electric shock. No injuries have been reported, Apple noted, but the company has instituted a new adapter exchange program to get stronger plugs into the hands of its customers. The ultracompact USB adapters are essentially a small white cube with two prongs and a USB port.
