Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20131219-654A2-2147448900. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Coby TFTV3229. Incident: I purchased 2 Coby 32" LCDTV's from Hhgregg on 6/15/2012. One is on the recall list that I plan to return this weekend. The other is the same model just different serial #. Model: TFTV3229 Serial # LGWXESBVE04T01S02. In June 2013 we were using it and it started making weird noises, loosing the picture, and started smoking. So we unplugged it and set it to the side. I wrote to the company ,But I didn't know that they went out of business until I just got the recall email from Hhgregg. I called them but because of the serial number they will not exchange it. They told me to report it here.
