The product, in the report: Work station keyboard
The consumer turned on the keyboard to play or practice music. After 5 minutes the keyboard started to emit an odor from the inside. It smelled like a new product was heating up from the inside out. The odor made the consumer sick after he used the key board for about 30 to 45 minutes.
The keyboard cost thousands of dollars and the consumer cannot buy another one for now. The consumer is a musician and the keyboard is his work instrument, so he has had to continue using it. This happens every time he uses the keyboard. (2/2014) The consumer contacted the manufacturer and their rep. (name unknown) told him to take it back to the authorized service provider.
The consumer took it to the service provider (retailer) around February 10, 2014. The service provider kept it for about two weeks and they said it was fine. When the consumer turned it back on the same smell started to come out. He called Rhythm City in Jackson Mississippi and they call the manufacturer. The manufacturer’s rep. said the model has been discontinued and they will not provide a replacement.
The consumer believes that the odor from the keyboard makes him sick and presents a safety hazard. The consumer did not specify the type of symptoms he experienced.
NOTE: The consumer may add some additional details when he receives the report.
