The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said IBM is voluntarily recalling 56,000 computer monitors for repair. The problem is that the monitor's circuit board can overheat and smoke, posing a fire hazard to consumers, the commission said. IBM said it received five reports of monitors overheating and smoking, including one report of minor property damage, but that no injuries were reported. The commission said the recalled IBM monitors include the G51 CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) and G51t Touch Screen CRT models.
