Wii Remote Battery Chargers Recalled

MINNEAPOLIS (CBS) ― A device some Nintendo Wii owners use to charge the batteries in their remotes could overheat, CBS station WCCO-TV reported.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled 220,000 Wii four-dock battery recharging stations. Six people have reported the units overheating and two people have burned their hands.

The docks were sold under two brand names: Psyclone Essentials and React. They are manufactured by Griffin International in Minneapolis.

The docks were sold at Best Buy, Target, Toys R Us and on Amazon.com, between January 2008 and July 2009. The products affected have serial numbers of PSE6501 or RT530.

If you have one of those docks, you can call the company for more information at 1-888-344-4702. They're answering phones Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., central time.
