Apple is recalling three prong power adapters that are meant for use in the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong because they may break and cause a risk of electrical shock. If you got one of these with a Mac, an iOS device or via the World Travel Adapter kit between 2003-2010, then you are likely affected. The linked document will tell you how to identify the problematic ones (Which by the way you should stop using now…. As in right the hell now) and how to get a replacement.
I am pretty sure that I have one of these so I will be making a point of confirming that when I get home and taking action immediately.
UPDATE: I checked and I am affected by this. I used the link above to make a Genius Bar appointment on Saturday afternoon to get this addressed.
