Charger easily falls out of port

My MacBook Air (only a couple of months old) has been having problems with the charger and the charging port. Whenever I plug the charger into the port, it seems "loose" and the charger easily falls out of the port with even the littlest of movements. However, the adapters that I have still plug in fine, and they do not fall out easily as they "click" into place. This leads me to believe that the charger is to blame. Is there something that I can do to fix the charger or do I need to buy a new one?


Thanks!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

Perhaps this is a Faulty Device?

If this easily falling out, then there may be some out-of-the box hardware issue. You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited warranty. So, contact Apple Support, and have this looked at.
