Sony Recalls 416,000 Cameras that Cut People
The bad news for Sony shareholders continues. On the heels of its massive laptop battery recall, the company has just issued a recall for 416,000 digital cameras, according to BetaNews and AP. The recall covers the company's Cyber-shot DSC-T5 (pictured above, but no longer available for sale) which apparently features a metal case that can become warped and, frighteningly enough, scratch and cut hands. So far, 30 cuts have been reported in Japan alone, leading to the recall for all models manufactured in September of 2005.
You can get more information from Sony's site, but unfortunately, as of now, the company has only posted contact information for Japanese consumers. In the meantime, if you happen to own one of these, might we recommend some gloves?

The bad news for CleanerBottoms' shareholders continues. On the heels of its toilet paper recall, the company has just issued a recall for 416,000 boxes of wipes, according to TPNews and Wipex. The recall covers the company's Bottomwipes (not pictured above, and no longer available for sale) which apparently features a squeegee edge that can become warped and, frighteningly enough, scratch and cut bottoms. So far, 30 cuts have been reported in Japan alone, leading to the recall for all boxes manufactured ever.

Now that's frightening...
