Phew, looks like I am OK.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 990,000 units were recalled. But a Dell representative said that figure referred only to the adapters sold to consumers in the United States. It did not include the additional 1.91 million units sold to U.S. businesses or the other 1.5 million units sold to customers outside the United States.

Though the darn thing seems to heat up pretty good when I have it plugged in for a while :eek:

Thanks for the heads up Bill.
