Durabrand DVD Players Recalled from Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart has announced a recall of 4.2 million DVD players made by Durabrand. These Durabrand DVD players have circuit boards which can overheat, causing burn hazards to owners of the DVD players. These DVD players were sold in Wal-Mart stores all over the United States from January 2006 until July 2009 around thirty dollars.

The DVD players came in three colors: silver, pink and purple. Initially, Wal-Mart only recalled the silver model. However, it was discovered some time later that the purple and pink models had the same defect as the silver model. So, the recall has been expanded to include all of the aforementioned models.

There have been 14 reported incidences of the DVD player overheating so far. Seven of these incidences resulted in damage to the owner's property. At the time of this writing, there have been no injuries reported.

Defective products can result in serious injury or death. If you have purchased this model of Durabrand DVD player, please discontinue use of the product. Wal-Mart is offering a full refund to consumers who purchased this product.

If you or a loved has been injured due to a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact the defective product lawyers at the Cochran Firm today if you have been the victim of a defective consumer product.
