Zdnet's take:

Apparently the adapters physically fall apart.

Quote:

While speculation was that B&N was unable to rid the Nook of the ADUPS spyware satisfactorily, the company told the Android Police website that it pulled the tablet from sale for an unrelated reason. It claims that three incidents of the casing of the Nook's charging adapter breaking led to the halting of retail sales. No injuries were reported, but Barnes & Noble says that existing owners can charge the Nook via a computer instead and that the company is sourcing a replacement AC adapter.
I've seen my share of cheap generic USB chargers stop working after a while.
Never saw one physically break apart.
