The issue with the charger appears to lie with its power cable.
IKEA warned that the cable may get “damaged or broken” after prolonged use. This is especially the case if the cable was wrapped around a charger or it was “bent back and forth”.

The furniture firm said that such damaged cables may cause users to suffer thermal burns and electric shock.
Based on reports online, it seems Singapore isn’t the only country or territory affected by the recall.
IKEA outlets in Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia have also issued similar advisories.
Even though there haven’t been any such incidents reported in Singapore, IKEA Singapore is urging users to stop using and return the affected product.
Users can identify the charger by its model number “ICPSW5-40-1” on the backside of the product.
