Video game accessory company Psyclone is recalling 220,000 of its Nintendo Wii 4-dock recharging stations after reports of overheating and short-circuited batteries.
The recall affects the Psyclone Wii 4-Dock Recharge Station (model PSE6501) and the React Wii 4-Dock Recharge Station (model RT530), according to the company and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
“We have chosen to voluntarily recall the Psyclone and React Wii 4-Dock Recharge Station products upon learning of extremely isolated cases of the battery overheating, causing the batteries in the unit to short circuit,” Psyclone president and CEO Bob Griffin wrote in a note on the company’s Web site.
Psyclone is aware of four units that have had problems, Griffin wrote. No injuries have been reported.
