About this recall

Nikon Inc., of Melville, N.Y., is recalling about 29,900 Nikonos Speedlight Model SB-103 amphibious high-performance electronic flash unit bodies. Gas buildup within the unit can cause the front lens and flash tube unit, along with the rubberized ring holding them in place, to propel off the front of the Speedlight.
