The furniture store Ikea has issued a recall notice on its electrical adaptor ‘Koppla’.
It allows other European style plugs to connect to Swiss power outlets.
Ikea says there’s a risk of electrocution as the casing could break.
The recall notice only applies to certain models. Full details can be found on the Ikea website.
Ikea will refund the difference for any returned to the store – there’s no need for a receipt.
