Hewlett-Packard has issued a recall for around 679,000 Photosmart R707 digital cameras due to a possible fire hazard. When connecting the camera to an AC adapter or docking station, non-rechargeable batteries are receiving a charge which causes them to overheat which could lead to a possible fire.
This can be fixed with a simple firmware update.. but.. what is it with all these fire hazards? Don't the companies throughly test their stuff before shipping it out? 700K is not a small number...
