Best Buy recalls LCDs

[DimeMecka]

April 8, 2009 — Best Buy is voluntarily recalling one model of its house-brand Insignia LCD TV, the 26-inch IS-LCDTV26, 13,300 of which were sold from August 2005 through June 2006.

The power supply of that model has been shown to fail and pose a fire and burn hazard to consumers. Best Buy has received two reports of fires with damage to the wall and television, and one consumer reported minor burns to the hands. Owners of this model should discontinue using the set immediately.

Also included in the recall is a portable power source, the RF-INV80, 1400 of which were sold under the store's Rocketfish brand from July 13, 2008 to February 18, 2009. Best Buy has three reports of spontaneous fires during charging, resulting in minor property damage but no injuries.

Owners of these products should call the Best Buy recall hotline at (800) 233-0462 to receive a gift card for the value of the items.
