The product, in the report: digital voice recorder
I have an overheating DS-5500 affected by the recent recall. I tried to get into the Olympus web page but it is unclear how to get the repair.
I am using it frequently and cant dispose of it without a replacement. It cost me 400$ to buy it when I was in the US last spring.
I am leaving in Quebec, Canada
