Lexar JumpDrive Firefly & Secure II Recalled

  July 7th, 2006



Lexar is recalling the JumpDrive Firefly and Secure II products due to an overheating issue. If you own one of these products, Lexar is offering a free replacement of the drive. Everything USB reviewed the Lexar JumpDrive last year if you need a refresher.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says the Lexar flash drives were recalled due to a potential fire hazard caused by overheating. While no injuries have been reported, Lexar has sold over 66,000 of the drives and opted to recall them for safety reasons. Lexar is asking that customers stop using the drives immediately. You can also see the original story at The Inquirer.
