Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130826-989F9-2147452657. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Sony NP-FX110. Incident: While children were watching a DVD, the attached lithium ion rechargeable battery pack swelled and split open. It appears that one of the internal battery cells swelled and ruptured the plastic case, breaking it loose from the DVD player. While no injury occurred, I am concerned about the risk of injury and fire related to this issue.
