IBM said Thursday it will recall about 553,000 AC power adapters worldwide for several models of its laptop computers because of potential fire and electrical shock hazards.

The 56-watt adapters can overheat, cause damage to the circuit board and melt through the case, the company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The agency said it received six reports of incidents and some property damage but no injuries. About 225,000 of the adapters are being recalled in the United States.
