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.
Portable Generators can be very dangerous
Between 1990 and 2002, CPSC received reports of 179 carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning deaths associated with portable generators. These products use fuel-burning engines that emit poisonous CO gas in their exhaust.
Newsroom
News about product liability cases in San Jose and nationwide:
Definition:
If the actual design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous, then every product with that design is defective. For example, the poor design of the Ford Pinto is what made it defective, and because the design was common to all Pintos, they were all defective in design.
Civil Liability
Definition:
In a civil lawsuit, if a party is found to be at fault, that party is liable. This is equivalent to a guilty verdict in the criminal system, except that civil liability usually means that the party at fault pays money damages to the other party, whereas the guilty party in a criminal suit may have to go to prison.
Product Safety Recalls
Definition:
Sometimes sale of the item is banned. A manufacturer may establish a recall program that asks consumers to return the defective item for replacement or repair.
