WASHINGTON: Japanese electronics maker Toshiba has recalled 41,000 laptop computers worldwide because of a fire risk, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
"The notebook computers can overheat at the notebook's plug-in to the AC adapter, posing a burn hazard to consumers," the commission said in a notice issued on Thursday.
The computers involved are the Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite ProT130.
The safety commission said that Toshiba has received 129 reports of the computers overheating and deforming the plastic casing area around the AC adapter plug.
It said there had been two reports of minor burn injuries and two reports of minor property damage.
