February 18, 2005 -- LOS ANGELES — Microsoft said yesterday it will recall 14.1 million power cords for its Xbox video game console after a defect gave some users minor burns and scorched carpets.
Robbie Bach, chief Xbox officer for Microsoft, said the recall covered all Xboxes made for continental Europe before Jan. 13, 2004, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003.
Consoles built after those dates were designed in such a way that the failures no longer occurred, Bach said.
Affected customers can request a new power cord free of charge via the Web site
www.xbox.com, or U.S. customers can call (866) 271-0450 toll free.
