Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130611-4D240-2147455324. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Sony NP-FX110. Source model text: Sony DVP-FX930 (player) with Sony NP-FX110 (battery pack). Incident: I own a portable Sony 9-inch DVD player (model number NP-FX110) which, to my surprise, stopped functioning suddenly. It wasn't dropped, spilled on or put in the sun. It was safe in it's case in my climate controlled locker at work. Strange. Upon inspection I noticed what others have reported to saferproducts.gov. The battery pack is swollen!
