Kentucky Products Liability Attorney: Toshiba to recall 41,000 laptops for overheating
Toshiba is going to recall 41,000 laptops after reports of some overheating and even melting. Several models of its Satellite T130 laptops will be recalled because they have a “faulty DC-In harness”, CNET reports.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 129 instances of overheating and deforming the plastic casing area around the AC adapter plug. To date the defects have only led to minor injuries and property damage, but it is unknown whether or not a more serious injury is possible.
The laptops need a BIOS update to fix the problem. The update is available on Toshiba’s web site.
