Sony announced Thursday it"s recalling 350,000 digital cameras, a point-and-shoot model called the Cyber-shot DSC-T5 released in 2005, because of a problem that could cause metal on the bottom of the camera to cut or scratch the photographer.
"Sony has recently discovered that some DSC-T5 Cyber-shot digital still cameras may experience peeling and warping of the metal coating on the bottom of the camera that could result in a slight cut or scratch to the user"s skin," Sony said in an advisory on its Web site.
The Japanese electronics giant will replace the part and pay shipping for free for anyone affected by the problem.
