Lenovo Desktop Computers Recall Expanded Due to Potential Fire Hazard
In cooperation with North Carolina-based manufacturer Lenovo, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall for the Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop computer. This latest recall only affects an estimated 13,000 units as 50,500 were previously recalled in March. This electronic product has a defect in the internal component in the power supply, which can overheat and create a possible fire hazard for the user. Presently, Lenovo has received one report of a fire incident and one report of a smoke incident in the U.S., but fortunately no injuries have been reported.
The full names of the products are the Lenovo ThinkCentre M70z and M90z computers, which are all-in-one desktop computers. To determine whether or not you own a unit that has been recalled, consumers can locate the recalled desktop model numbers, which are M90z and M70z, along with the serial number and manufacturing date on the label on the underside of the unit. Consumers are instructed to immediately stop using the product and unplug the power supply, and contact Lenovo to confirm that the computer is included in the recall.
For more information, customers should call Lenovo at (855) 248-2194 or go online to www.lenovo.com/aiopsurecall. These ThinkCentre computers were sold between May 2010 through March 2012 online at the Lenovo website and through Lenovo authorized distributors nationwide.
A defective product can cause serious injury to an unsuspecting consumer, and regrettably, dangerous product defects are typically not discovered until after an injury accident has already occurred.
