Defective product attorneys at Messa & Associates have recently learned that twelve hundred Olympus digital point-and-shoot cameras are being voluntarily recalled due to shock risk. An improperly installed part can potentially come in contact with the device’s circuit board, posing a dangerous electric shock hazard.
Information for Consumers of Recalled Cameras
Twelve hundred Olympus VG 170 Digital Cameras have been voluntarily recalled by Olympus America, Inc. for a potential shock hazard due to a manufacturing error. The cameras are about 4 inches long by 2.5 inches tall and come in colors white, black, or red. The model number, “VG 170,” can be found printed on the top of the camera, opposite the shutter button. The brand-name “Olympus” is found on the upper right-hand corner on the front of the camera. The cameras are equipped with 3-inch LCD screens on the back.
Fortunately, no electric shock incidents or injuries have yet to be reported.
Consumers are asked to immediately discontinue use of the cameras and to contact Olympus at 800-622-6372 between 9:00am and 5:30pm ET Mon-Fri for a free inspection and repair. Consumers can also visit the product page on Olympus’ website for more information.
