The product, in the report: A dual set of portable DVD players that plug into the lighter of the car and attach to the back of the headrests
On a three hour car ride, my boys were watching movies on a Philips dual portable DVD player that attaches to the back of the headrest of a car. About 2 hours into the ride, my 2.5 year old started crying and saying he hurt is foot. I thought he had just bumped it, so I reached back and rubbed it. about 10 minutes later, it happened again. This time I smelled something burning and I looked over to see the side of the DVD player that faces the windows, was smoking. I pulled the car to the shoulder of the highway and opened the door to see that the wires of the DVD player were actually on fire. I was able to unlatch the DVD player and stomp on it.

The product, in the report: Portable DVD Player
On Sept 13, my son watched his Phillips DVD Portable player for approximately 45 minutes. When he was done, he turned it off. It was still plugged in and charging. It was left sitting on our couch. At 4am on Sept 14 I woke up because of the smell of smoke/fire. I found the DVD player and it had heated, melted, burned the couch cover, begun to burn a significant hole in the seat cushion itself. I dont know the source or cause but the place where the battery is stored is completely burned.
