The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling digital camera battery chargers imported by Fujifilm U.S.A. Inc., of Valhalla, N.Y. over an electrical shock hazard.
The recalled BC-50 battery chargers were included with the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd digital cameras and are identified by the production lot codes “WCAA” and “WCAB,” on the back of the battery charger unit, in the lower, right-hand corner.
The battery chargers were also sold separately as an optional accessory for the FinePix F100fd and F50fd digital cameras and have production lot codes of “WBAD” and “WFBA.” Battery chargers packaged with the Fujifilm Finepix F50d digital cameras are not included in the recall.
About 5,300 chargers were sold across the United States at camera and photo supply retailers from March 2008 through September 2008 for about $60 US each.
