Philips Recalls Almost 12,000 Flat Panel TVs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unsafe-at-any-speed dept.

wh0pper writes "Arcing capacitors have caused Philips to recall select Ambilight flat panel (read plasma) TVs. Because the TVs make use of flame retardant materials, damage was only sustained to the TVs and not homes. This is the first time I've heard of TVs having this type of issue. How safe are LCD and DLP TVs from this type of thing?"
