Sony Recalls Vaio Laptops Because of Overheating


Sony, the consumer electronics company, said Thursday that it was
recalling 440,000 units of Vaio laptop computers worldwide because of
faulty parts that could trigger overheating.

The company said Thursday that the recalls involved 19 models of Vaio
TZ laptop series manufactured between May 2007 and July 2008,
including three export models.

The company said a faulty wiring connecting the main body of the
laptop and its display could cause overheating near a power plug or
the rim of the screen, sometimes distorting the shape of the computer.
