Bose Recalls Speakers Due to Fire Hazard

Bose is recalling about 20,500 home speakers after discovering a malfunction in the bass module, according to PRnewswire.com. The products in question are the CineMate Series II and CineMate GS Series II digital home theater speaker systems, which are designed to operate with U.S. 120-volt electrical outlets and European outlets of 220 volts or higher.

Two incidents of the bass modules within the system igniting were reported in Europe, where the speakers were used in 220-volt electrical outlets. Although no injuries were reported, Bose is asking that consumers immediately unplug their dual-voltage CineMate II systems and contact the company to arrange a free repair or replacement of the module.
