The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission announced the recall, in voluntary cooperation with
Sharp, of 373,000 27-Inch Conventional Tube (CRT) televisions.
The Power button can break allowing objects to be inserted
through the opening. Foreign materials such as crayons, metal
objects or straws can ignite posing a fire hazard.
Sharp has received 23 reports of fires. One incident is reported
to have resulted in $20,000 in property damage. The others
resulted in minor property damage. No injuries have been
reported.
The recalled 27-inch Sharp conventional tube televisions include
models 27RS50, 27RS100 and CSR5027. The model number can be
found on the label on the back of the television.
The recalled televisions were sold nationwide from March 2001
through February 2005.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using these
recalled televisions and contact Sharp Electronics Corp. for a
free repair.
Consumer Contact: Call Sharp Electronics Corp. at (800) 291-4289
anytime or log onto the firm's Web site at
