Sony has issued a public notice about a safety issue with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T5.

This two-year old model (anyone still using one of these?) may have a dangerous metal warp.

"Sony has recently discovered that, with certain units of its Digital Still Camera "Cyber-shot" DSC-T5 released on the market in September 2005, there is the possibility that metal plating on the bottom of the camera unit may warp, causing slight cut or scratch to the skin of the user when it is directly touched."

"In its effort to ensure customer satisfaction, Sony will offer a free replacement service of the bottom casing".

The serial numbers affected by this problem are from 3010001 to 3081200 - hit the link to the official Sony announcement below if you're concerned about your T5.
