Fujifilm Recalls AC Adapters Over Shock Hazard
24 January 2018
Fujifilm has announced a recall of AC-5VF power adapter wall plugs packaged with a variety of Fujifilm digital camera models. "While there have been no reported injuries, there is a risk that the wall plug may crack, break or detach and remain in the outlet exposing live electrical contacts and posing a shock hazard," the company said.
The AC adapters for the following models within certain serial numbers are subject to the recall:
- XP90/XP95 cameras sold from June 2016
- XP120/XP125 cameras sold from January 2017
- X-A3 cameras sold from October 2016
- X-A10 cameras sold from February 2017
In the recall notice the company advised owners to immediately stop using the adapter, charging the camera via a USB cable plugged into a computer.

Fujifilm said it will mail a free replacement wall plug and associated adapter unit to affected customers.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates about 270,000 units sold in the U.S. and an addition 24,000 units sold in Canada are affected.
