---------------------------------------
SINGAPORE, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Creative Technology Ltd. (CREA.SI: Quote, Profile, Research) said some of its MP3 players shipped to Japan had contained a virus worm and it was recalling affected products from stores.
Singapore-based Creative (CREAF.O: Quote, Profile, Research) , which makes Nomad and Zen brand players, said in a statement late on Thursday on its Japanese Web site that some of its Zen Neeon devices, which started shipping in late June, contained a "low-risk worm".
The company estimates fewer than 50 units were affected, out of 2,900 devices that had been shipped to Japan since Sept. 1.
"The system with the problem has been disposed of and the problem has been fixed. We verify that Creative Zen Neeon shipments going forward will not have this problem," the firm said.
Creative shares fell as much as 3 percent to an intraday low of S$13.50 on Friday. The stock, which closed at S$13.70, has slumped about 24 percent over the last 12 months.
A Singapore-based Creative spokesman declined to comment when contacted.
