Apple has identified in very rare cases, the two prong Apple AC wall plug adapter designed for use in Continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Argentina and Brazil may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched. These wall plug adapters were shipped from 2003 to 2015 with Mac and certain iOS devices, and were also included in the Apple world travel adapter kit.
