LENOVO Group Ltd, China's biggest personal computer maker, announced yesterday that it is recalling more than 50,500 desktop computers sold globally and in China, because of potential hazards of overheating and fire accidents.
Lenovo decided to recall the faulty desktops after two American consumers reported problems of power management which caused smoke and fire during usage, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The models involved include Lenovo's ThinkCentre M70z and M90z, which were produced from May 2010 to January 2012 and sold overseas and in China, according to Lenovo.
Users are advised to shut down their computers "immediately" and contact Lenovo for free power replacement.
However, the Lenovo recall is not the biggest one in recent years.
In May 2011, the world's biggest PC maker Hewlett-Packard said it was recalling 162,600 battery packs used in its laptops because they can overheat, posing a risk of fire or burns.
