I just saw the special yesterday.
Sony Recalls PS2 Adapters AC power adapters occasionally overheat and melt, posing potential danger.
Martyn Williams, IDG News Service Tuesday, September 13, 2005
Sony Computer Entertainment is asking for the return of about 3.6 million power adapters supplied with its slim-version PlayStation 2, promising replacement because of a danger that they may overheat, melt, and injure users. The company issued a recall notice to customers worldwide on Tuesday and warned that the adapters in question shouldn't be used until they have been replaced.
Overheating Reported
In the U.S., the company has already received reports of 38 adapters overheating. Among those incidents were 19 cases in which the adapters melted, Sony said in a statement. Details about the types of adapters being recalled and the procedure for returning them and obtaining replacements are available online from Sony.
The company also acknowledged four reports of minor property damage, two reports of minor burns, and one report of a minor shock.
"Not all of the AC adapters in question may be defective but as we are not able to identify which are defective, we are voluntarily recalling all to make sure all customers are safe," said Nanako Kato, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment in Tokyo. Product Specs
In North America, the recall covers about 960,000 adapters shipped with SCPH-70011 or SCPH-70012 PlayStation 2 consoles. The adapters in question bear date codes between "2004.08" and "2004.12" and have serial numbers beginning with "F3," said SCEI's U.S. subsidiary in a statement.
In Japan, about 60,000 possibly faulty adapters were shipped with SCPH-70000CB model consoles. They bear the same manufacturing dates and all carry the model code "HP-AT048H03."
The European adapters subject to the recall include about 2.3 million units shipped with SCPH-70002, SCPH-70003 and SCPH-70004 models. Like the Japanese models, they carry manufacturing dates between "2004.08" and "2004.12" and the model code "HP-AT048H03."
