Hurt, no treatment Made Oct 25, 2011, sent to the company Nov 1, 2011, published by CPSC Dec 1, 2011
The product, in the report: Barnes and Noble Nook Color
UPDATE: It is the power cord, not the nook itself. The cord separation occured at the end that plugs into the electronic book.
The Barnes and Noble Nook Color adapter casing is cracking / breaking causing a shock. I thought it was just my unit that is defective, however, when I went online to find a replacement it appears MANY people are complaining of the same issue. I did send a note to Barnes and Noble, but it appears they are not doing anything about it (based on the other comments online at their website)
