Sony and the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of a number its adapters due to a shock hazard. If you bought a Sony computer from 2005-2009, you might be at risk.

  • All-in-one VAIO desktops of the VGC-LT series and VGC-JS2 series

  • All told, some 69,000 adapters sold between September 2005 and October 2009 are due to be recalled.
