Rage Wireless Guitar Used with Nintendo Wii Recalled

October 22, 2008
Rage Wireless Guitars used with the Nintendo Wii gaming system are being recalled. A circuit board defect can cause AA batteries used in the guitar to leak if the batteries are installed incorrectly, posing a risk of chemical burns to consumers.

Performance Designed Products Inc. has received one report of a burn to a consumer.

The Rage Wireless Guitar controller is designed to be used on the Nintendo Wii system. The guitar is blue or white and is 31 inches long. The guitar contains battery-operated LED-lighted fret buttons that go up the neck of the guitar.

Mass merchandisers and specialty retailers nationwide sold the guitars from June 2008 through September 2008 for between $40 and $60. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the wireless guitar game controllers immediately and return them to the place where purchased for a full refund. Do not contact or return the product to Nintendo.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
