Voluntary Recall of Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-
Free, TuneBase FM with Hands-Free and TuneBase FM
with ClearScan

Belkin has determined that these products pose a potential
risk of fire

Global recall of products effective immediately

Belkin International Inc has initiated a voluntary global product
recall of the above products, the model numbers for which are
listed below. Belkin has identified that a component of the
TuneBase, the washer, may cause a electrical short circuit
when the TuneBase when plugged into a vehicle's cigarette
lighter adapter. The washer is a circular, black, plastic unit
situated at the tip of the TuneBase's cigarette lighter adapter.
After rigorous investigation, Belkin has determined that under
certain conditions of heat, humidity and prolonged periods of
power-on (e.g. when the TuneBase is plugged in and left
overnight), some units with the washer have shown potential
to smoke or pose a risk of fire.

Whilst we believe this issue may be isolated to a limited number
of units produced with this washer, Belkin places the
safety of our consumers ahead of all other considerations and
is recalling all TuneBase products purchased by customers
between 1 April 2009 and 30 October 2009.

No incidents of personal injury have been reported as a result
of the TuneBase devices.

Belkin is working diligently with its retail partners to remove all
affected products from the stores shelves globally.
