The Office of Fair Trading is advising people over a potential safety risk to plug adaptors for certain Mac and Apple devices.

The organisation says Apple has been made aware of a possible issue with adapters shipped with devices between 2003 and 2010 where some have broken and exposed metal parts presenting the risk of causing electric shocks.
