Southern Telecom is recalling about 21,000 A/C power adaptors (chargers) included with the Polaroid PMID709 and PMID709KB seven-inch Internet tablets. These adaptors can overheat, with 10 reports of overheating received by the company so far. The affected products were sold exclusively at Big Lots in July 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled adaptor and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.
The internal components of the power adaptor can overheat during use. This poses a fire hazard that could lead to property damage or personal injury, although no injuries have been reported yet.
Customers should immediately stop using the adaptor and contact Southern Telecom for a replacement adaptor at no cost. Customers will receive an envelope for returning the recalled product with their replacement adaptor.
