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.
