Toshiba AC Adapters recalled for burn hazard

About 142,000 Toshiba AC Adapters sold with portable DVD players are being withdrawn because they may fail to function, causing the DVD player to overheat, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The recall applies to the AC adapter sold with the DVD model SD-P1600.
Two associated incidents involving minor damage to the DVD player have been reported to the company.
The DVD players were sold in U.S. stores from January 2005 through April 2006 for between $200 and $230 US.
Consumers should stop using the AC adapter and contact the company for a replacement.
