Sony has recalled about 69,000 AC adapters sold with its Vaio notebook products, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. No injuries have been reported, although Sony said that it has received four reports of the adapters short-circuiting, due to insulation that can fail over time, Sony said. No incidents took place in the U.S., either. The adapter number is the Sony VGP-AC19V17. The adapters were sold between from September 2005 through October 2009, and included the Sony Vaio VGC-LT series and VGC-JS2 series notebooks as well as the VGP-PRBX1 and VGP-PRFE1 docking stations.
