Bose is recalling approximately 884,000 bass modules (plus about 98,000 sold in Canada and 18,300 in Mexico) included with Acoustimass, Lifestyle, and Companion home theater systems manufactured before April 2006. The internal electrical components of these speakers can fail, posing a serious fire hazard. Bose has received 21 reports worldwide of the modules igniting or melting, including three incidents that caused property damage to carpeting and furniture. The recalled modules were sold in black or white at electronics stores like Best Buy, Sam's Club, and Sears, as well as online at Bose.com from 1994 through 2007. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the speakers and contact Bose for a free repair or a 40% discount on a replacement product.
