If you own a Wii™ 4-Dock Battery Recharge Station with the brand name Psyclone Essentials or React, stop using it immediately. The battery pack can overheat, posing a burn or fire hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a voluntary recall of the product today, in cooperation with Griffin International, which makes the charger and other third-party video game console accessories.
There have been six reported incidents, with two reports of minor injuries involving burns to the hand.
Some 220,000 products subject to the recall were sold between January 2008 and July 2009: the Psyclone (PSE6501) Recharge Stations were sold at Target, Toys R Us, and Amazon.com, and the React model (RT530) was sold at Best Buy. The brand name and model numbers are located on the bottom of the product and/or on the packaging.
If you own one of these chargers, contact Griffin International toll free at 888-344-4702, or at productsaftey@psyclonggamer.com/Wii4Dock to acquire a redesigned replacement.
