To Owners of the Optional Interface Cables for EOS-1D Series Digital SLR Cameras and the Cover for Motor Drive Coupler for EOS-1 Series SLR Cameras:

Thank you for using Canon products.

Related details regarding this matter are outlined below. We offer our sincerest apologies to all customers who have been inconvenienced by this problem. To ensure that similar mistakes do not occur in the future, we will make every effort to achieve thorough quality control processes and hope that our efforts will earn your understanding.

Time of Release and Cameras with which Affected Products can be Used

Although the four interface cables are manufactured in the People's Republic of China and the motor drive coupler covers are manufactured in Taiwan, the "country/region" appearing on the packaging for the all of these separately sold products is mistakenly listed as Japan. To ensure that similar mistakes do not occur in the future, Canon will make every effort to achieve thorough control processes. The products in question were manufactured to meet the high quality standards required for all Canon genuine products and can be used with confidence.
