RTX 5090 GPUs aren't being recalled for being a fire hazard after all — Nvidia and MSI refute accusations

MSI Suprim RTX 5090.

Yesterday, a Dutch retailer falsely reported a recall of MSI's RTX 5090 GPUs, particularly the MSI RTX 5090 Suprim. MSI and Nvidia have categorically refuted these accusations, reassuring customers their products pose no such risks. The cause of this fumble was a reported communication error. While the retailer eventually retracted their statement, MSI may pursue legal action. You can read MSI's press release below:

"We had the unpleasant surprise of learning on 03/06/2025, through an article on Kitguru website Link, that a Dutch retailer—UW GAME SPECIALIST—allegedly informed a customer that they were unable to fulfill their order because 5 GeForce RTX 5090 32G Suprim SOC from our brand had supposedly been recalled due to a fire hazard.
