SONY Recalls VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and VGN-TZ2000
« on: September 04, 2008, 08:07:57 PM »

Japan's Sony Corp has launched a voluntary recall of 438,000 Vaio portable computers, citing a potential hazard that could cause the machines to overheat or possibly burn a user.

72,000 are in the USA but the rest must be all around the world.

I have not found any details yet about which, if any, UK models are affected, nor what the owners should do with their laptop. Will keep you uptodate.
There is no news on the Sony Site:
