Bose Recalls about 20,500 Dual-Voltage CineMate II Home Theater Speaker Systems.
A component in the bass module can fail when used outside of the U.S. in electrical outlets rated at 220 volts or higher, presenting a fire hazard to consumers.
This recall involves dual-voltage CineMate Series II and CineMate GS Series II digital home theater speaker systems.
Each speaker system includes two speakers, one bass module, a remote control device, an interface module and accessories. The components are black.
Dual-voltage systems included in the recall have a product code of 051365, 051470 or 057971, which are the first six digits of the serial number on the product label located on the back of the bass module.
They were sold at select U.S. retailers from September 2009 through September 2012 for between $600 and $800.
Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug any dual-voltage CineMate II systems and contact Bose to arrange for a free repair or replacement of the bass module.
