Consumers could receive an electrical shock if they try to remove the separated prongs from outlets. The rectangular, black, plastic chargers measure approximately 3 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 1 inch tall and have grooves on the side. The words, "Made in Norway," the model number, and date code appear on the label affixed to the charger. This recall only applies to ACH-4U chargers with date codes 9531 through 9546. The chargers were sold nationwide from July, 1995 to November, 1995 under the brand names Nokia and AT&T. Various cellular phone dealers sold the chargers as part of the basic sales package or separately as accessories. Mascot Electronic AS of Norway manufactured the chargers for Nokia.
