Recall on Wharfedale TV

[PAZ]

Sorry Admin but not sure which forum to put this in, but on the basis that anyone who bought one maybe saw it in the bargains I thought I'd post it here:

http://www.tesco.com/library/scripts/redirectto.asp?from=HomeBotWharf&url=/safetywarning.htm

If the link doesn't work it contains this...

WHARFEDALE M8 AND 890 models only. (The model number is printed on the back of the TV)

Profilo Electronics is checking and modifying some Wharfedale Widescreen TV's which may contain a faulty component. The fault could cause a fire.

Belongs in the DVD and Home Cinema Hardware Forum :)
