The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada announced today that the battery packs sold with the cameras are part of a voluntary recall due to a potential burn hazard. While there’s been no injuries reported, Nikon says it has received seven reports outside of North America of battery packs overheating. The recall encompasses 5,100 batteries in the US and 1,000 in Canada, plus an additional 195,000 battery packs worldwide. Those with one of the battery packs in question are advised to remove it from their camera and contact Nikon directly for a free replacement. Complete details can be found at the source link below.
