Don’t Get Burned By Your Wii Battery Charger
These days everyone wants a Wii: your kids, your husband, and the old man in the retirement home. It mixes video games with real life. Who could resist playing tennis and bowling from the comfort of their own living room? But, if you want to play, you need the hand-held remotes with charged batteries.
The good news is that Griffen International came out with a battery recharge docking station that keeps your remotes organized and charging when not in use. The bad news is that they were found to cause the battery packs to overheat. Result? Big risk of burn or fire.

Don’t put your family at risk. If you have one of these in your home, contact the manufacturer immediately.
