Apple AirTag taken off shelves by retailer in Australia due to a safety concern
India Today
Australian retailer Officeworks recently took Apple AirTag off its offline and online channels citing an easy removal of its button-cell batteries as a concern for child safety to its customers.
Apple launched its much-awaited AirTags alongside a fresh model of iPad Pro last month. While the new product promises many use cases and is much sought in Apple’s international markets, it was recently taken off the shelves of an Apple retailer in Australia due to safety concerns. The issue reportedly lies with the button-cell batteries that power the AirTags. From what a Reddit user highlighted recently earlier, the batteries of AirTags are too easy to remove, even by a child. Citing this reason, the Apple AirTags have been removed from the shelves by Officeworks in Australia until further notice. Even though they were in stock earlier this week, the retailer has now announced that the AirTag range will “temporarily be unavailable for purchase” through its online and offline channels.More Related News
