Last week Apple officially launched the USB Power Adapter Takeback Program, now they have added many new countries where consumers may trade-in a third-party USB charger for a discount on an official Apple charger.

The program was originally introduced last month after the electrocution of a Chinese woman, who was apparently using a counterfeit iPhone charger.

Apple is expected to accept and recycle any third-party charger at any Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider. they will also provide an authentic charger for $10 in the United States, a $9 discount from Apple’s regular pricing.
