Canon is recalling 1.87 million copiers because of a risk of overheating and fire. The models that they are recalling were built from 1987 to 1997. Now, it’s nice that they are recalling all these printers, but if they have been around since 1987 and haven’t caught on fire yet, then they are probably going to be ok. This is all because like three printers caught on fire years ago too, so it’s not like they’ve had a recent wave of exploding machines. Anyways, the recall is expect to cost Canon $1.7 million and infinity lost dollars from bad publicity.
