Adapter Recall Program

[RJ100]

Not sure where to place this info?
The security forum seemed most fitting. Feel free to move if need be. ;)

I've moved it here to genereal topics as is definitely isn't security related. The only other place I could think of was software & services, but that doesn't seem to fit either

from what I've read elsewhere the recall applies worldwide & not just to the US as the website seems to suggest

Yeah, software & services is about as close as we've got since we don't have a hardware section. :-\

Yeah, I added that in there maybe a month ago or so - when the last thread about some hardware issue was posted. ;)

Last month..... :o

Ok, It's just me not paying close enough attention :-X
I thought you had just plugged in that little addition today. ;D
I'll be alright in a few minutes. :)

Take care
