Recalling our O2 Original 45W and 20W plugs

[Dave-O2]

Hello folks 

PLEASE READ the below, especially if you’ve purchased an O2 Original 45W or 20W plug in the past, as these products have now been recalled ‼️

More details can be seen below, including what happens next if you're an impacted customer ↘️

What’s happening 📢

We’ve received a very small number of reports on a few faulty O2-branded plugs, and although there was no report of injury or damage to property, we’ve decided to remove them from sale.

A full investigation was conducted by the third-party supplier, Exertis. While they’ve confirmed there were no significant failures in testing, and there’s a very low likelihood of public risk, they’ve recommended a voluntary product recall, which we’ve followed.

The affected plugs  🗣

This product recall affects a range of 45W and 20W O2-branded plugs, sold by us from August 2021–January 2023.

The configurations include:

•  O2 Original 45W Mains Charger with USB-C to USB-C Cable
• O2 Original 45W Mains Charger with USB-C to Lightning Cable
• O2 Original 20W Mains Charger (without Cable)
• O2 Original 20W Mains Charger with USB-C to USB-C Cable
• O2 Original 20W Mains Charger with USB-C to Lightning Cable 

Here’s how they look ↘️

@Dave-O2 

Thanks for that. I have one of those plugs but it isn't branded as O2.

Nevertheless, I will hand it in for recycling as it is better to be safe than sorry.
