Best Buy Insignia DVD Player Remotes

February 22, 2007
Best Buy Co. is recalling about 10,000 remote controls used with Insignia DVD players because of a burn hazard.

If the batteries are placed backwards in the remote control with the positive and negative sides improperly switched, overheating can result and present a burn hazard.

Best Buy has received one report of a remote control overheating. No injuries have been reported.

The white remote control has model number NS-A1113 and ?Insignia? printed on the front. The keypad has black numbers/letters. The recalled remote controls were sold exclusively with the Insignia 100W DVD Compact Shelf System. The remote controls were not sold separately.

The remotes were sold at Best Buy retail stores nationwide, bestbuy.com and at bestbuybusiness.com from May 2006 through January 2007 for between $80 and $130 with the Insignia 100W DVD Players.

Consumers should stop using the remote control immediately and contact Best Buy to receive a free replacement remote.
