SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20141028-FDBBC-2147439471. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Sony KF-42WE610 (42 inch wega television). Incident: Sony KF-42WE610 lcd television was purchased back in 2004. Television had not been used much until lately when I put it in kids play room. When my child came to me and said "dad the tv smell funny and is really hot." Upon inspection I found the lamp door access was melted. The television was extremely hot on exterior of access panel. Investigating the problem online I found there was a lawsuit and a recall. But found that it did not pose a safety threat. From my perspective it poses a serious threat and should have tracked down every owner of these models. I would never knowingly put a television in a room with children that could possibly start fire or burn my child. I called Sony and told them the specifics and they gave me a number to a local repair company. Unacceptable.
