Fire Hazard Prompts Lenovo Recall Of ThinkCentre Desktop Computers

The Northwest Indiana personal injury law firm of Schlyer & Associates, the Aggressive Trial Lawyers, is warning of a recall issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, of 50,500 Lenovo ThinkCentre M70z and M90z desktop computers since a defect in an internal component in the power supply can overheat and pose a fire hazard.

According to the recall notice, the recalled all-in-one desktop computers, or PCs, are flat-panel monitors with the PC integrated into the monitor housing itself. The power supplies are also inside the monitor or PC housing. The computer chassis has a matte black finish with the brand name "ThinkCentre" in the lower left hand corner of the monitor front. The recalled desktop model numbers are M90z and M70z along with the serial number and manufacturing date code can be found on a label on the underside of the unit. Only certain of the M70z and M90z computers built in this time frame are affected. Consumers will need to check the serial number on their computer with Lenovo to determine if it is subject to this recall.

The recalled computers were sold online at Lenovo’s websites, by telephone and direct sales through Lenovo authorized distributors nationwide from May 2010 through January 2012 for about $500 for the M70z model and $800 for the M90z model.

If you have one of the recalled computers, you should immediately stop using the computer, unplug the power supply and contact Lenovo toll-free at (855)248-2194to determine if your computer is included in the recall and to schedule an appointment for a free replacement of the power supply.
