HP Recalls The Photosmart R707 Digital Camera – Catches Fire
Hewlett-Packard may be facing a slight setback in its recently announced goal to make its logo the 21st century’s symbol of photography: It is recalling a digital camera that can catch on fire when used with a non-rechargeable battery. If you own the Photosmart R707 digital camera I suggest sending it in.
The Palo Alto-based computer and printer giant and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Tuesday a recall of the software that controls the battery charging functions in the HP Photosmart R707 Digital Camera. About 224,000 of these cameras in the United States and 679,000 worldwide have been purchased between August 2004 and April 2006. Owners can request a CD-ROM or download free software from HP’s Web site to correct the problem. HP spokeswoman Jennifer Pershall said the software recall is an isolated incident with a simple fix.
