08.30.2003 - IBM monitor recall expanded

The updated recall notice, posted Thursday on IBM's Web site and that of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, expands the recall to cover monitors made between June 1997 and September 1998. The expanded recall covers a total of 235,000 monitors worldwide, with 119,000 in the United States. The number of recalled units represents roughly a third of the 685,000 units produced throughout the monitors' lifecycle of June 1997 to April 1999. To identify whether a monitor is covered by the recall, consumers need to look at the label on the back, which includes its model number and manufacturing date. The recall covers G51 monitors with a model number of 6541-02N, 6541-02E or 6541-02S, and manufacture date between June 1997 and September 1998. Model numbers for the G51T are 6541-Q0N, 6541-Q0E and 6541-Q0S. - View Additional Information - View Recall Notice - Visit IBM Corporation - Source: CNET News
