In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission
(CPSC), Thomson Inc., of Indianapolis, Ind., is voluntarily
recalling about 50,000 home
entertainment amplifiers.
The amplifier can overheat due to a lack of ventilation, which
can cause melting of the plastic front cover and pose a shock
hazard to consumers. Thomson has received 12 reports of the
amplifiers overheating, some of which resulted in melting of the
plastic front cover or faceplate. No injuries have been
reported.
The recalled RCA ® 650-Watt Home Entertainment amplifiers
include model numbers RT2600, RT2600DVD and RT2600DVD5 and
serial numbers beginning with 220 through 230.
The model and serial numbers can be found on a label on the back
of the unit in the lower left
corner. The recalled units may also have an “A” as the last
character in the model number. The
amplifier units are silver and are about 17 inches wide, 16
inches deep, and 5 inches high. The
amplifiers were manufactured in China.
Radio Shack, Best Buy, and other retailers sold the amplifiers
from May 2002 through
March 2003 for between $300 and $380.
Consumers should unplug the units immediately and contact
Thomson at (800) 613-0897
anytime for information on how to receive a free repair.
Consumers also can log on to the
company’s website at www.rca.com/recall.
