Check the label on the back of the HG612. If it has large '3B' (or '2B') and came with a white mains power adapter, you should be fine.

As far as I can recall, there were two issues. One was very earliest HG612 overheating particularly if they were not wall mounted and so could possibly catch fire.  The second was a separate electrical safety issue with the black coloured power adaptors.
