Sony is once again in trouble with its digital cameras. The company has just announced a global recall of 416,000 Cyber-shot DSC-T5 digital cameras to rectify bottom plates because the case can bend and can turn into an edge that can cut or scratch the user’s hands.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T5 was announced couple of years ago and offers 5.1 megapixel resolution, a 2.5-inch LCD display, 3× optical zoom, sliding lens cover, and aluminum bodies available in black, silver, gold, red, and champagne colors.
This recall will replace the bottom casing of affected cameras absolutely free and according to the Sony’s spokesperson statement in Tokyo, the shortcoming was noticed by the company after a month ago when the camera was launched. Complaints from about 30 customers of Japan and of other markets also reported the problem, with small cuts or scratches.
According to Sony, approximately 350,000 Cyber-shot DSC-T5 cameras are sold in the U.S., Europe, and China whereas almost 66,000 are sold in Japan. Affected camera model and serial numbers comes between 3500001 and 3574100. U.S. customers can report to Sony’s support Web site.
