Lenovo of Morrisville, NC has expanded a product recall affecting about 13,000 additional units of its ThinkCentre-brand desktop computers manufactured in Mexico.
The company reports that the recall is due to a defect in an internal component of the power supply, which can overheat and pose a fire hazard to consumers. Lenovo says that it has received reports of one fire incident and one smoke incident related to the recalled computers, but no reports of injuries.
The computers included in this recall were sold online through Lenovo’s website, and by telephone and direct sales through authorized Lenovo dealers, from May 2010 through March 2012 for between $500 and $800, depending on the model.
