CPSC, Toshiba America Consumer Products Announce Recall of Rear Projection Televisions
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
If the capacitors short circuit, due to a very high electrical surge, such as from a lightening strike, the metal parts on the television could present a shock or electrocution hazard. In addition, the metal jacks on the back of the television or another metal box attached to the television could present a shock or electrocution hazard, as a result of the capacitors' failure.
What to do
Toshiba has contacted many of the owners of the affected televisions. However, if you have not been contacted, please contact Toshiba. Consumers who have an affected television will receive a free replacement, which includes removal of the recalled television, delivery and installation of the replacement.
