HP recalls cameras over fire hazard

From CNN

Quote:
Hewlett-Packard Co.is recalling HP Photosmart R707 digital cameras after receiving one report of a camera catching fire.

Quote:
The cameras were sold at electronic, computer, camera and online stores nationwide from August 2004 through April 2006 for between $250 and $400.

Quote:
The agency said consumers should stop using the recalled cameras and contact the company for a firmware update that prevents the camera from applying a charge to a non-rechargeable battery.

Quote:
The update can be downloaded on Hewlett's Web site, HP.com, or consumers can contact the company directly at (866) 304-7117

Quote:
Consumers should not use single-use, non-rechargeable batteries until they have completed the update, the agency said.

Nice one, HP. How could they have overlooked something that simple?
