Certain PowerShot SX50 cameras have been recalled due to contamination that occurred during the manufacture of the rubber portion of the camera's viewfinder.
The contaminated rubber can till turn due to the build-up of a zinc deposit. This deposit is caused by a reaction between the contaminant and the rubber. This deposit can cause an allergic reaction (the primary symptom is a skin rash.) It can also cause eye irritation.
Canon will inspect and repair affected cameras free of charge.
Affected cameras have serial numbers starting with 68, 69, or 70 along with the sixth number in the serial number consisting of a 1.
Contact Canon support if you have a PowerShot SX50 with one of these serial numbers.
