"The company announced the recall on Thursday, saying it is aimed at protecting the consoles from electrical-component failures that can pose a fire hazard. So far, such failures have been reported in 30 consoles, causing minor injuries or property damage, Microsoft said. Seven customers reported burns to their hands. In the rest of the cases, the defect caused smoke damage or minor damage to a carpet or entertainment center.
In Europe, consoles made before January 13, 2004, will need replacement cords, the company said. In all other areas, the recall covers consoles manufactured before October 23, 2003. "
