The product, in the report: Portable DVD Player with Rechargeable Battery Pack S/N paste over date?
Mintek Portable DVD Player model # MDP-1815 (together with rechargeable battery pack RB-Li 55, which has serial number 24D0510250877L) gave off burning odor and smoke during use.
CPSC already has posted a recall that describes the same kind of incident, specifically for the rechargeable battery pack (Release #05-187). However, the recall refers to different model numbers for both the main product and battery pack. Your recall specifies DVDs with model number DVD-1710. However, the model involved in this incident is MDP-1815. Your recall specifies battery packs marked RB-LiP01 or RB-LiP02, but the battery pack attached to the model involved in this incident is marked RB-Li 55.
Release #05-187 appears to be the only CPSC recall for a Mintek product. Therefore, I am providing this information because you may wish to amend and/or widen your advisory information to consumers.
Please note that the relevant fields below do not permit me to note the following information: what appears to be the DVD player serial number is printed on a white sticker placed in a black box outline that is printed directly on the bottom of the product. Directly over the box outline, also printed in black directly on the product, is the phrase “DATE OF MANUFACTURE”.
