Sony Recalls 69,000 Vaio AC Adaptors Because Of Shock Hazards

By Sean Fallon on October 29, 2009 at 6:12 AM

Sony is recalling around 69,000 VGP-AC19V17 AC Adaptors used in Vaio all-in-one desktop computers (VGC-LT series and VGC-JS2 series) and docking stations (VGP-PRBX1 and VGP-PRFE1).

Apparently, four reports of adaptors short circuiting has alerted Sony to a weakness in the insulation, which could pose a shock hazard. So far, no one has been injured, but if you happen to have one of these adaptors, you can contact Sony for a replacement. [CPSC]
