Canon is recalling approximately 68,200 EOS Rebel T4i digital SLR cameras because a chemical used in the camera's rubber grips can react and turn the grips from black to white. This chemical reaction poses a risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions for users. One consumer has already reported developing a minor rash after contact with a surface where the camera had been placed. Affected cameras were sold nationwide at retailers including B&H Photo, Best Buy, Amazon.com, and other stores between June 2012 and July 2012.
A chemical in the rubber grips can cause the material to turn white and trigger skin irritation or allergic rashes upon contact. One report of a minor rash has been documented.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cameras and contact Canon U.S.A. to have replacement rubber grips installed free of charge.
