Sony said Thursday that it will recall 416,000 digital cameras, after it was found that the cameras’ cases may create an edge that could scratch the hands of users, the AP reported.
The problem is with the Cyber Shot DSC-T5 camera, which was released in the fall of 2005, and the bottom casings of the cameras will be replaced.
“Sony has recently discovered that, with certain units of its Digital Still Camera “Cyber-shot” DSC-T5 released on the market in September 2005, there is the possibility that metal plating on the bottom of the camera unit may warp, causing slight cut or scratch to the skin of the user when it is directly touched,” Sony said in a statement.
The serial numbers of concerns are 3010001 to 3081200.
