Burn Hazard Prompts Consumer Product Safety Recall of Wii Chargers
August 12, 2009
If you own the Psyclone Essentials or React Wii 4-Dock Battery Recharge Stations, it's best to unplug them.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a product recall on both units, citing fire and burn hazards caused by potential overheating of the battery pack. A half-dozen incidents have occurred so far, with two gamers suffering minor burns to their hands.
The $50 units were made in China and distributed in the United States by Griffin International. They were sold at Target, Toys R Us, Amazon.com and Best Buy.
The CPSC website explains the process for returning the defective Wii chargers.
FYI is you own one of those chargers.
