NEC is recalling about 170,000 laser printers because of an overheating problem that leads to a subsequent risk of fire, the company says.

The company is recalling 11 printer models, that were sold in Japan between 1997 and 2000. The printers are monochrome laser printers, mostly in its MultiWriter range.

Around 440 printers sold by Hitachi during the period from 1999 to 2001 include the same part and are also subject to recall, Hitachi said in a statement.
