Sony Recalls Notebook Computers Due to Burn Hazard
Sony Electronics Inc. announced a voluntary recall of certain VAIO TZ-series
notebook computers. Irregularly positioned wires near the computer’s hinge and/or a dislodged screw inside the
hinge can cause a short circuit and overheating. This poses a burn hazard to consumers. The recalled notebook
computer models are the VAIO VGN-TZ100 series, VGN-TZ200 series, VGN-TZ300 series and VGN-TZ2000 series.
Consumers should stop using the recalled notebook computers immediately and contact Sony to determine if their
notebook is affected. The firm will arrange for an inspection and repair, if needed.
