Loading ...Sony Recalls Digital Cameras That Can Cut Customers
The bottom metal casing on some of Sony’s Cyber-shot digital cameras could peel and warp, creating a sharp edge that could scratch or cut the user’s hand.
Sony on Thursday posted a warning that the bottom metal casing on some of its Cyber-shot digital cameras could peel and warp, creating a sharp edge that could scratch or cut the user’s hand. The defect prompted the recall of 416,000 cameras.
Sony said on its product support site that the defect affected only its DSC-T5 Cyber-shot camera. The company is offering to replace the bottom case at no charge.
Sony said it discovered during parts production that there was a problem with the adhesive strength of the metal coating. As a result, damage to the bottom casing could cause the metal to peel away and warp outward. The defect affects DSC-T5 model Cyber-shots with serial numbers between 3500001 and 3574100. The serial number is printed on the bottom of the camera.
