The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 24, 2017, sent to the company May 9, 2017, published by CPSC May 23, 2017

    The product, in the report: BLACK POLAROID MP3 MODEL.- PMP182-4 MADE IN CHINA

    My children brought me a MP3 player for mother day. When I went to charge it up it was sorta warm so I didn’t pay it any mind. But when I left it plugged up for a couple of hours and came back to get it it I heard something pop. It was my case off the MP3. So I tried to click it back together and it wouldn’t so I looked inside and the battery was so blown up, that it was about to pop and the MP3 was steaming hot. Had I went to sleep and left It, it would have started fire. I wondered how many children have this it did it to them. I never got to use it, and I have had it now for a year almost and do you know the battery is still blown up. It is truly dangerous. I tried to contact POLAROID over and over again. No real contact information. So when I saw that their table cord is bad I clicked into here. I have pictures if Ihave to email them.
