The company said consumers should stop using the recalled adapters and register online for a free replacement adapter, along with a Barnes & Noble $5 gift card. Once registered, consumers will be able to print a prepaid UPS label to return the recalled adapters to Barnes & Noble.

Consumers will receive replacement adapters in the mail. Until a replacement adapter is received, consumers are advised to charge their Nook Tablet 7 with a USB cable.

The adapter has the model number TPA-95A050100UU and a manufacture date of 201610.
