That's a definite short! If it happened at my house, I would assume that my small dog peed on it or someone spilled a drink on it. Either a possibility??

They are all white that came with my iphone - they appear gray only from the photos.
The cable that came with my 3G was also a sort of off-white and looked to be grey in pictures, as others have said: go to an Apple Store and get it replaced(for free of course🙂)
Same thing happened to me earlier this morning. I woke up to being burned on my back because I charge my iPhone 4 on the bed with me when I sleep. When I rolled over in the morning, and I rolled on top of my extremely hot iPhone and I quickly jumped out of bed and unplugged it. I don't know how it got so hot or why, I think it just overcharged alot, but I still don't know if it was the cord/charger, or the phone itself. When I turned on the light and saw how melted the cord was, I was concerned and relieved that that I found it when I did and the house didn't burn down. My iPhone surprisingly and Luckly still works, but I don't know if I should return it.

The recall was only because for some people the metal prongs of the 'Ultracompact USB Power Adapter' were breaking off and getting stuck into the wall. It didn't have anything to do with the USB cord. - See here: http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter/exchangeprogram/
