Sony offers to check 'smoking' TV models
Sony KDL-40V3000 TV Sony said a faulty component could cause some Bravia
models to overheat
Sony is to offer free safety checks on several of its TV models after a
number of sets started smoking.
The company warned that a component used in eight different versions of
its
Bravia televisions may be faulty and could, in rare cases, overheat.
However, it stopped short of issuing a full recall.
Instead Sony said that anyone who was concerned could request an engineer
come to their home for free to inspect their TV.
You get a choice between Niquitin lozenges or Nicorette spray.
