A recall has been announced involving laser printers made by Dell, IBM and Lexmark.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled a total of nine different models because the printers can short circuit posing a shock hazard to users.

The recall effects one IBM printer, two Dell and five sold under the Lexmark brand name. All of the defective printers were sold from May until August of this year for about $200.

Ink mafiosi are behind this.

Thanks Harold. I have a lexmark, but thankfully not one of the recalled modles.

Thanks Harold.

Looks like I am back to my old Canon until the new Lexmark gets here.

Get with it, Mab. I have a mimeograph machine, love the purple ink and sometimes the vapors make me feel really good.

I agree with Perdita.

I love my spirit duplicator pad.

The color suits my purple prose admirably, and I love the way it smells.

Purpose served.

I kind of figured that someone at Lit needed to know about this recall.
