If you own an iPhone charger from October 2009 to September 2012, whether it came with the phone or purchased separately, you're eligible for a replacement. Apple launched a few days ago exchange programme, where it replaces potentially defective chargers for free. This is a model labeled A1300 that is at risk of overheating while charging.

The model was exclusively intended for the European market with a European terminal and was included in the packaging of the iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S. In 2012, it was replaced by the A1400 model, which at first glance is identical, but there is no risk of overheating. Apple will thus replace all original A1300 chargers throughout Europe, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The exchange can be arranged at authorized services. If there is none available in the immediate vicinity, it is possible to arrange an exchange directly with the Czech branch of Apple. You can find the nearest exchange point at to this address.

You can recognize the charger model A1300 in two ways. First, by the very designation of the model in the upper right of the front part of the charger (with a fork), and secondly by the large letters CE, which, unlike the later model, are filled out. For Apple, this is not exactly a small action, there are several million of these potentially risky chargers among customers, but safety is more important to Apple than the loss that it will suffer thanks to the free exchange of old chargers for new ones.
