We've already seen Acer issue a recall in Europe (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/acer-issues-recall-for-some-aspire-timeline-laptops/) way back in October, so honestly we're a bit disturbed it's taken the US Consumer Product Safety Commission this long to follow suit. Various 13.3-inch Aspire One (http://www.engadget.com/tag/AspireOne/) models -- specifically AS3410, AS3410T, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ, and AS3810TZG -- could cause potential burns due to a faulty internal microphone wire under the palm rest. Got one of those versions? Give Acer a ring and see if you have an affected model that'll get fixed gratis.Acer issues US recall for 22,000 laptops going disco inferno (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sat, 09 Jan 2010 12:14:00 EST.
