Nokia reports that it has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the recalled charger kits, but has initiated the recall to prevent such incidents in the future.
The recalled travel charger kits were sold at AT&T and Verizon Wireless-authorized dealers and retailers nationwide, as well as online at att.com and verizaon.com, from January 2014 through May 2014 for about $50.
