Video Game Visions - Xbox 360, PS3 & Nintendo Wii!

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recent Wii recall. The recall is for the Psyclone Essentials and React Wii™ 4-Dock Battery Recharge Stations, which are distributed by Griffin International Cos., Inc. These charging stations were sold from January 2008 through July 2009 by Amazon.com, Target, Toys R Us and Best Buy for about $50.

Apparently the battery recharger stations have resulted in overheating problems which can pose a burn hazard. There's been at least six reports of overheating, two of which lead to minor hand burns. If you experience a burn, you should contact CPSC as soon as possible to report it.

To determine if your Wii battery recharging station is part of the Wii recall, check for the company name "Psyclone" or "React" on your particular item. These will have model numbers PSE6501 and RT530 respectively on the bottom of the unit.

If you determine you have a faulty recharger eligible for the recall, stop using the item and unplug it immediately. You can also do any of the following to find out how to return the product for a free replacement:
