Play with this guitar and you might get burned.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Wednesday announced a recall for Rage Wireless Guitars -- a controller for the Nintendo Wii version of the popular music game Guitar Hero. The devices are prone to leaking AA-battery acid because of a circuit board defect, the commission said.
About 54,000 Rage guitars have been sold; one consumer has reported a burn. Purchasers of the $55 guitar should return the controller to where they purchased it for a full refund. Those with additional questions can contact Performance Designed Products at (800) 331-3844 or visit pdp.com.
That's too bad, because the guitar itself looks quite cool. Unlike normal Guitar Hero controllers, the Rage guitar's frets illuminate when you press them.
