The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued a recall notice for Dynabook AC Power Adapters which are used for certain Toshiba-branded Notebooks.
The adapters have been recalled due to major safety concerns, with the CCPC saying they can "overheat and spark presenting a risk of fire and burns."
This product had previously been recalled in 2018 and now additional models have been identified as posing safety hazards.
