The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has announced a free recall campaign for specific types of LS-15 power cords for Lenovo gadgets as these cords can overheat.
Consumers have been urged to stop using the product and communicate with Lenovo to replace the power cord with a new one free of charge.
Users could also log on to www.lenovo.com/powercord2014 to get information on how to replace the defective cords and the proper ways of disposing of them. The campaign is being jointly conducted with Ensure Services Arabia, the authorised distributor of Lenovo gadgets.
