Nokia has suspended sales of the Nokia Lumia 2520, its first Windows RT tablet, after the supplied AC-300 charger was found to be an electric shock risk. “Sales of the Lumia 2520 tablet and the travel charger accessories, including the AC-300 chargers in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and UK, have therefore been temporarily delayed. In the US, we have suspended sales of the travel charger accessory,” Nokia said in the advisory.

Nokia stops sales of Lumia 2520 over electric shock fears

Nokia has suspended sales of the Nokia Lumia 2520, its first Windows RT tablet, after the supplied AC-300 charger was found to be an electric shock risk.   “Sales of the Lumia 2520 tablet and the travel charger accessories, including the AC-300 chargers in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and UK, have therefore been temporarily delayed. In the US, we have suspended sales of the travel charger accessory,” Nokia said in the advisory.   [caption id=“attachment_222000” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![Nokia AC-300, the charger in question](http://tech.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Article-image-2520charger-v.jpg) Nokia AC-300, the charger in question[/caption] The whole thing started when Nokia discovered that the plastic cover of the charger’s exchangeable plug could come loose and separate under some conditions, which is the reason for a possible electric shock when the plug remains in a live socket. The AC-300 charger is only in use for the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet, so other Nokia chargers can be used in a normal manner with your old or new Lumia devices.   “While there have been no confirmed consumer incidents related to this potential quality issue, product quality and safety are top priorities at Nokia,” said Jo Harlow, EVP Smart Devices. “We apologize to the owners of the Lumia 2520, and we are working with urgency to minimize the inconvenience.”   In total, Nokia says over 30,000 chargers are impacted by this advisory, including the 600 travel charger accessories sold in the US.
