Olympus Expands March Recall of Overheating Infinity Film Cameras
Olympus Imaging America Inc. has received 21 reports of camera or flash circuitry overheating in the U.S. with no reports of injuries.
A defect with the flash circuit in these cameras can cause it to smoke and overheat when the camera is turned on. This poses a possible burn hazard to consumers
The original recall announced March 14, 2006 included the Infinity Twin, AF-1 Twin, Infinity Zoom 200 series, AZ 200 series, and Quantary Infinity Zoom 222 Olympus-brand 35mm film cameras. Olympus has now added the Infinity Zoom 76 and the Promaster Infinity Twin model cameras to the recall. The model name is printed on the face of the camera. These cameras have a built-in flash.
In 2002, there were an estimated 212,400 toy-related injuries
The individual body parts having the most injuries overall were faces (45,400), heads (27,100) and mouths (16,200). Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions were involved in over half of the total injuries (53%). CPSC has reports of 13 children who died in toy-related deaths in 2002.
