No one hurt Made May 15, 2011, published by CPSC Jun 8, 2011
The product, in the report: iHome Audio iH8 iPod dock, silver.
I have an iHome iH8 iPod docking station made by iHome Audio in Rahway, NJ. The unit is about a year and a half old. The power adapter has been plugged in without incident since we moved several months ago and has not been moved or touched since then. Today, I went to move the docking station. As I went to unplug the adapter, I noticed that the plastic had split apart and the wires and components inside were exposed. I cut the power to the outlet and removed the adapter from the outlet. When I tried to put it back together, it wouldn’t go back down since the parts inside had swollen from the heat.
I have never had a power adapter do this before, and it doesn’t seem like it would be safe.
