Bravias ‘not being recalled’ says Sony

Sony was quick to negate reports that its popular line of Bravia LCD TVs was being recalled due to safety issues. Over 1.6-million Bravia’s were thought to be affected. Instead of owning up to any technical error, however, Sony has decided on a free TV inspection program on selected models.

When contacted, Bravia stressed that there was most definitely no recall. UK PR manager for Sony, David Edwards said, “The issue came to our attention through reports in Japan that a limited number of products might contain a component affected by a quality issue, which in a rare number of cases might over-heat and ignite inside the television and possibly result in the melting of the upper casing of the television.”
