Some Acer Predator Gaming PCs Recalled Due to Overheating Issues
We would like to inform you that Acer today recalled some of its Predator premium gaming PCs due to overheating issues. The reason: the insulation on the computer's internal wiring can become bent or stripped, causing the wires to overheat while the product is in use. This poses a burn hazard to consumers. Until now two reports of computers short circuiting, resulting in melted internal components and external casing have been sent. The affected models include model numbers ASG7200 and ASG7700 developed from May 2008 through December 2008. Consumers of the affected machines should stop using them and contact Acer for a free repair. See the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert posted here for more information.
