July 1, 2010: Sony Vaio Laptop Recall
On June
30, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the Sony
Electronics Inc., announced a voluntary recall of select models of Sony VAIO
laptop computers.
About
233,000 Sony Vaio notebook computers were recalled because they can overheat
and pose a burn hazard to consumers. Sony has received 30 reports of units
overheating resulting in deformed keyboards and casings, but as of yet no
injuries have been reported.
These
products were sold at Best Buy, Costco, Frys, Amazon.com and Sony Style retail
stores and sonystyle.com as well as other electronics retailers and business
suppliers nationwide. The recalled computers, which sold for between $800 and
$1500, were shipped to consumers and resellers between January 2010 and April 2010.
The
recalled products are VPCF11 Series and VPCCW2 Series notebook computers. The
computers are available in many colors and have “VAIO” on the front outside
panel. The model numbers can be found on the bottom of the computers.
