Battery Packs Sold With Disney DVD Players Recalled
About 102,000 rechargeable battery packs sold with Disney-brand DVD players are being recalled because they can overheat and possibly burst when recharging, posing a risk of burns.
The battery packs were distributed by Memcorp Inc., which has received 17 reports of the batteries overheating, including three reports of minor skin irritations and three reports of minor property damage.
The recalled battery packs were sold with Disney-brand DVD players that are about six and a half inches by five and a half inches with a 3-inch screen display.
They were sold in five styles with a corresponding model number. The model number is written on the back of the unit.
The five styles and model numbers include, Princess, DP3500-PRN; Fairy Flowers, DP3500-FLR; Mickey Classic, DP3500-MC; Mickey Mouse, DP3500-MKY; and Power Rangers, DP3500-POW.
The DVD players were sold at discount and electronics stores nationwide, and at Disney theme parks and through the Disney catalog from April 2005 through March for between $70 and $130.
Consumers should stop using the battery pack supplied with these DVD players and contact Memcorp for a replacement rechargeable battery pack.
Consumers can call Memcorp at (800) 326-0315 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information.
