Casio is recalling about 12,000 electronic keyboards because they pose an overheating danger, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday.
Five incidents of keyboards overheating, including two incidents that resulted in fire, have been reported to the company. No injuries have been reported.
The recall includes the CTK-710 model with serial numbers ranging from 7030001 through 7040400, and 7041901 through 7043500.
The keyboards were sold at retailers across the U.S. and through catalogue and online sales from May 2006 and February 2007 for between $70 and $150 US.
Consumers should stop using the keyboard and contact the company for a free repair.
