El departamento de salud de Canadá lanzó un aviso para retirar del mercado más de un millón de cargadores para teléfonos y otros dispositivos electrónicos.
Se trata de los cargadores de tipo USB.
El organismo federal publicó una larga lista de los modelos de cargadores que serán sacados del mercado, por posible electrocución e incluso por poder generar un incendio.
El aviso incumbe a varios modelos distintos de cargadores, los cuales se venden normalmente en tiendas de un dólar, estaciones de servicio o abastos en distintas provincias del país.
El problema es que estos productos no están certificados. Health Canada realizó una serie de pruebas con muestras aleatorias y determinaron que estos modelos presentan “riesgos inaceptables de electrocución o incendio”, según un comunicado del organismo.
Quienes tengan alguno de estos productos deben cambiarlo, devolverlo o simplemente botarlo.
Aquí pueden ver la lista completa de los productos que serán sacados del mercado:
