If you own a Lenovo computer, you should pay attention to this. Lenovo is recalling a staggering 500,000 in the US and Canada due to a risk that they might start a fire. How do you know if your power cord is affected? Check out this from the CPSC:
This recall involves Lenovo’s LS-15 AC power cord manufactured from February 2011 to December 2011. The power cords were distributed with IdeaPad brand B-, G-, S-, U-, V- and Z-series laptop computers and Lenovo brand B-, G- and V-series laptop computers. The recalled power cords are black in color and have the “LS-15” molded mark on the AC adapter end. The manufacture date code in the format REV: 00 YYMM is on a label attached to the cord.
If you’re affected, you need to surf to this website or call (800) 426-7378 to make arrangements to get a replacement. The cords have apparently tied to 15 “incidents” including “overheating, sparking, melting and burning.” No injuries were reported however.
