IBM recalls notebook power adapters:
By Robert McMillan
IDG News Service, 09/02/04
IBM is recalling power adapters that shipped with certain models of
its ThinkPad notebooks sold between January 1999 and August 2000.
The adapters can overheat and melt, posing a fire and electrical
shock hazard to users, according to a statement released Thursday by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The flaw has led to some "minor property damage," but no reports of
personal injury, IBM said in a statement on its Web site.
The adapters were sold worldwide with IBM's ThinkPad i Series
laptops and ThinkPad 390 and 240 computers as well as certain
ThinkPad s Series notebooks sold in the Asia-Pacific region outside
of Japan, according to the IBM statement.
Approximately 553,000 of the 56 watt AC adapters were sold. The
adapters being recalled contain the part number 02K6549 on their
labels, IBM said.
Customers in the U.S. and Canada can call 1-800-410-5629 to obtain a
replacement adapter.
International customers are directed to their nearest IBM Support
Center. A list of IBM's international support center telephone
numbers can be found online at the Link below.
