The product, in the report: electronic video game that connects to telesion
The consumer’s son played the video game for about 45 minutes, when he noticed a burning odor and saw smoke. The son found that the HDMI cable between the TV and video game had melted to the point that the wires were exposed. The son immediately discontinued use of the game. Nothing else was damaged in the home.
** The HDMI cable was purchased by the consumer’s son separately from the video game.
The consumer called the game mfr., because they had been having problems with the video game. The mfr. sent the consumer a replacement HDMI cable, which they received on or around 11/26/2011.
It is known that the problem originated with the video console.
The consumer contacted the mfr. to see if they would be willing to do anything else for her about the damaged video console, but they would not assist her further.
