Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20131218-34596-2147448934. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Coby TFTV3229. Incident: I was recently made aware of the recall on the Coby 32 inch TV's and the list of the serial numbers you provided do not match mine however I think you should be aware that I have experienced the same issue that others are reporting. My Coby TV is sitting on a closet right now because numerous times the cord and tv would get extremely hot, to hot to touch. I still continued using the TV though until one day in September smoke started coming out of the back vents. I immediately unplugged the TV and haven't used it since.
