Olympus Imaging, one of the nation's top camera manufacturers, expanded its March 2006 recall today. The company has recalled 1.2 million cameras because a defect with the flash circuit in these cameras can cause it to smoke and overheat when the camera is turned on.
The original recall announced March 14, 2006 included the Infinity Twin, AF-1 Twin, Infinity Zoom 200 series, AZ 200 series, and Quantary Infinity Zoom 222 Olympus-brand 35mm film cameras. Olympus has now added the Infinity Zoom 76 and the Promaster Infinity Twin model cameras to the recall. The model name is printed on the face of the camera. These cameras have a built-in flash.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said consumers should stop using the cameras and call Olympus toll-free at (800) 480-1247 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
