Hewlett-Packard HP Fax 1040 and 1050 Machines
About 928,000 HP Fax 1040 and 1050 machines have been recalled in the United States; another 240,000 have been recalled in Canada and Mexico. The HP Fax 1040 and 1050 machines were imported by Hewlett-Packard Co., of Palo Alto, California, were sold at electronics, computer, and camera stores nationwide, and online at www.shopping.hp.com and other websites from November 2004 through December 2011 for between $90 and $120. Some recalled fax machines were replacement units for a prior recall conducted June 2008 that involved HP fax model 1010. Information on that recall can be accessed on the CPSC website.
The recalled HP Fax 1040 and 1050 fax machines can overheat due to an internal electrical component failure, which poses fire and burn hazards. Hewlett-Packard is aware of seven reports of fax machines overheating and catching fire, resulting in property damage, including one instance of significant property damage and one instance of a minor burn injury to a consumer’s finger. Six incidents were reported in the U.S. and one incident was reported in Canada.
This recall involves HP Fax 1040 and 1050 models. The HP logo and the model number are printed on the front of the fax machine, which is dark gray and measures about 11 inches high x 14 1/2 inches wide.
The firm advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled fax machines, disconnect them from the electrical outlet, and contact HP for a rebate on the purchase of an authorized replacement HP fax machine or a partial rebate of certain HP ink jet printers. HP can be reached, toll-free, at 1.888.654.9296 between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Mountain Time (MT), Monday through Friday, or at the firm’s website at http://www.hp.com/go/faxrecall/US-en.
