APC Recalls 2.1 Million UPS Units

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the live-wires dept.

Controlio writes "Check your cubicles. APC has recalled two of its Back-UPS CS models, the Back-UPS CS 350 and Back-UPS CS 500, in both the 120 volt and 230-volt flavors. The units were sold between November of 2000 and December of 2002. The affected units have the potential to overheat, melting the outer casing and causing a potential fire hazard. Yikes."

    I imagine that their stock prices will open LOWER. No surprise, this is one of the poorest performing tech stocks, even in the heady dot-bubble days. LMFAO!

    The recall is isolated to the BK325I, BK325-RS, BK350, BK350EI, BK350-AZ, BK350-FR, BK350-GR, BK350-IT, BK350-UK, BK350JP, BK350IX218, BK475I, BK475-RS, BK500, BK500EI, BK500-AZ, BK500-BR, BK500-FR, BK500-GR, BK500-IT, BK500-UK, BK500BLK, BK500JP, and BK500TW product models.

    Oh, is that it? Well, good, at least it's isolated to only those 24 models.

    (I know... i know... they're only a bunch of variations of three different models, but that's not as funny)
