Lexmark Laser Printer Safety Recall

The recalled laser printers are Lexmark's E232, E232t, E330, E332n, and E332tn; IBM's Infoprint 1412 and 1412n; and Dell's 1700 and 1700n according to this Yahoo News article.

While there have been no injuries reported so far, this is an important safety recall based on a wrong part that may injure users. According to this CNET article these printers are Mac-compatible. At a price point of around $200, it is possible that Mac consumers have bought them for home or office since they first hit the market in May.

They are still available for sale from links posted on the CNET review site! Lexmark has posted details of the safety recall on its web site which indicate that August 20, 2004 is a significant date. Printers sold before this date have been recalled and those sold after that date may be subject to recall, depending on their serial number. Links are provided with instructions on the Lexmark support site. [Dana Baggett]
