Axion TM 4708 7” Portable LCD Monitor and DVD Player Recall
Dear Axion Consumer:
Action Electronics Co., Inc. has voluntarily recalled its Axion 4708 7” Portable LCD Monitor and DVD Player. These
DVD players were sold at Best Buy Canada stores nationwide from October 2006 to January 2007. See the picture below.
An incident of overheating was
reported to Action Electronics,
which was caused by the use of
the car cigarette lighter adapter
having a continuous 15V or
higher external power input for
a prolonged period of time. The
unregulated high voltage was
above the recommended 9-12V,
and may damage the
components on older PCB
versions of the player. This may
cause heat to accumulate and the
non-combustive plastic cover
shell to melt. Only one instance
was reported.
After obtaining information regarding the incident, Action Electronics determined that out of the 8,000 units sold in
Canada, less than 600 units qualified as potential problematic. Nonetheless, Action has decided to recall all 8,000 units
sold in Canada. The overheating problem will not occur if the Axion 4708 model is operated with the internal battery or
with the bundled AC/DC adapter, which has a built-in voltage regulator. Nevertheless, Do not operate the Axion 4708.
As a condition of the refund, Action requests that the whole unit including the bundled AC/DC adapter and the
cigarette lighter adapter should be returned. These adapters should not be used with any device.
Action Electronics has initiated a recall of the Axion 4708 7” Portable LCD Monitor and DVD Player. Consumers should
call the toll-free Canadian hotline at 866-675-8239 or visit the website at www.axion4708.com to receive the refund
instructions. Action will also take steps in order to send out recall notice through first class mail to all known customers.
Action Electronics always put our customers’ satisfaction and safety our first priority. Action Electronics is sorry about
the inconvenience caused by this recall. Please accept our sincere apologies.
