O2 X1 Phone: Recall Notice
THOUSANDS of mobile phones are being recalled amid fears they may overheat while charging.
The mobile phone company O2 has announced it is recalling 28,000 of its X1 handsets.
The move comes after three incidents in the UK over the past few months in which the phones overheated while being charged.
A spokesman for O2 said that the incidents did not result in any serious consequences and said the phones were being recalled as a precautionary measure.
He said: "We are looking into these incidents and we take the safety of our customers very seriously.
"The X1 is about two years old and we discontinued the model about a year ago but there are about 28,000 still in use.
"We have contacted all those customers affected by text message and placed adverts in the national press.
"Anyone with an X1 should return their phone to the place where they bought it from and they will receive an upgrade," he added.
O2 is advising any customers who have any queries about the X1 handset to contact them by telephoning 0800 902 0212.
