Toshiba Recalls 41,000 Notebook Computers

Washington, DC: Toshiba is recalling about 41,000 Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite ProT130 Notebook Computers worldwide, because the computers can overheat at the notebook's plug-in to the AC adapter, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Toshiba has received 129 reports of the notebook computers overheating and deforming the plastic casing area around the AC adapter plug, including two reports of minor burn injuries that did not require medical attention and two reports of minor property damage.

This recall involves certain Toshiba Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite Pro T130 notebook computer models. "Toshiba" is printed on the top of the notebook computer. The model name and number are printed on a label on the bottom of the notebook computers.

The computers were sold at electronic stores and other retailers nationwide and online, including at Toshibadirect.com and other websites, from August 2009 through August 2010 for between $600 and $800.
