Kodak power supply recall


Be careful with that AC adapter. If your Kodak DC25, DC40, DC50, or DC120 digital camera came with one of four Elpac AC adapters, you need to contact Kodak about obtaining a replacement. If not fully plugged into the digital camera, the faulty power supplies can make the camera's batteries overheat, leak acid and even explode. A Web page maintained by Kodak (www.kodak.com/US/en/digital/accessories/ac) points out that such leakages or explosions can cause lacerations or thermal and chemical burns. If you own one of the recalled adapter models ù 2534, 2457, MI2008, or M42008 ù you can continue to use it with your digital camera. Just be sure to remove the camera's batteries first. Or better still, register at the same Kodak Web site for a free replacement adapter.
