A burn hazard prompts a consumer alert on some notebook computers. Toshiba is recalling 41,000 laptops.
The company said the computers can overheat and possibly cause burns on users.
A voluntary recall was issued after more than one hundred complaints.
The recall includes Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite ProT130 Notebook Computers.
They were sold at Electronics stores and other retailers nationwide and online from August 2009 through August 2010.
According to the CPSC, Consumers should immediately download the latest version of Toshiba's BIOS computer program to their notebook computer. This new program will detect whether the notebook computer is overheating, and if so, disable the notebook computer's external power and display a message directing the consumer to contact Toshiba for a free repair.
For more information, contact Toshiba at (800) 457-7777 anytime.
