Chemical Burn Hazard Prompts Recall of Rage Wireless Guitars

Consumer Injury Reported

About 57,000 Rage Wireless Guitars are being recalled because 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.

To date, Performance Designed Products, the manufacturer and distributor of the guitars, has received 1 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.

The guitars were sold at Mass merchandisers and specialty retailers nationwide from June 2008 through September 2008 for between $40 and $60.
