NEW YORK (CP) - Siemens issued a warning Friday that some of its cellphones may have a software problem that could cause them to emit a loud noise, possibly causing hearing loss for the phone user.

Some of the phones were sold in Canada, under the model number C65. Other models may have been sold in Canada if a retailer bought them from foreign distributors.

Siemens said it has not received any reports of injury from the possibly problematic phones, which also include models CX65, M65, S65, SL65, CV65, CT65, CXV65, CXT65. Full Story (http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=304c6908-924b-472c-a6ab-0b9b71c592e3)
