Transcend 16GB card recall

[Bob Fagan]

Before I read about what cards I should be using, I bought a couple of the 16GB Transcends (Class 10) from Amazon at the same time I bought the Af100. (I now have Panasonic golds). Had to return the Transcends as they went bad almost immediately. One stopped being able to format and the other would not transfer files over from the card. Almost 2 days after I returned them I got this notice from Amazon:

We have recently learned that Transcend Information is voluntarily recalling the Transcend 16 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC10E with Frustration Free Packaging . Our records indicate that you may have purchased one of the potentially impacted cards listed in this recall through the Amazon.com website.

Items impacted by this recall were sold between July 28 and August 15, 2011. Due to a manufacture process issue, the item subjected to this recall might cause read/write blocking if the file size is over 4GB and the information on the card may not transfer.
The SDHC cards impacted have a serial number between 446136 0001 to 446136 9999 and 446121 0001 to 446121 9999. In order to identify the serial number of your card, please refer to the number in green on the right side of the back of the card.

If your product is affected, you should contact the manufacturer, Transcend Information, for a replacement.

I have some cards purchased from B&H photo in the "433525 xxxx" range, they're not being recognized by either a EX1 or EX1r when using some MxR adapters (some adapters work, others don't). I'm still in contact with both efilms & transcend trying to figure out what is going on.

I have a bunch of other Transcend cards that have worked flawlessly, so I was surprised to get these troubles.

Nice thing is that I purchased from B&H, so I can always contact them for an easy return & purchase different cards.
