Acer recalls Aspire laptops due to burn risk

The computer company Acer issued a recall of approximately 22,000 Aspire laptops after consumer reports of overheating.
 
According the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the microphone wire, which is located under the notebook computer’s palm rest, can short circuit and overheat. The recall was initiated after three customers reported “light melting of the external casing.”
 
Acer first notified its European customers of the problem in October. They were given the warning, “microphone cable may overheat when extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest.”  American consumers were not given this warning until the recall on January 14.
 
The recalled notebooks include Acer models AS3410, AS3410T, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ, and AS3810TZG. The affected units were sold between June and October 2009. If you believe that you own a recalled laptop, stop using it immediately and call 1-800-571-2237. Acer is offering consumers a free repair.
