TVs, AV receivers, and projectors have been recalled for fire risks, electrical hazards, and overheating power supplies. A 60-second CPSC check could prevent a serious incident.
The CPSC database at cpsc.gov/recalls covers consumer electronics including TVs, projectors, soundbars, and AV receivers. Search by brand name (Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, TCL, Denon, etc.) or by product category.
Most major TV brands also maintain safety and recall pages. Samsung's support site includes a safety recall section. LG, Sony, and Vizio publish recall notices through their support channels. For older equipment, search the brand name and model number with 'recall' in any search engine.
TV and home theater recalls cluster around electrical hazards - particularly power supply overheating, capacitor failures, and fire risk from internal components. Projectors with high-intensity lamps have seen recalls for housing defects that pose fire risk. AV receivers are occasionally recalled for power supply issues.
A TV recalled for power supply fire risk is plugged in 24/7 in most homes. Registration means you find out before it becomes a problem - not after.
