A voluntary recall of one of full - Buy - house - brand name Insignia ’s HDTVs has been issued , after an irreparable figure flaw causing burns and ardor was discovered . But customer are getting burn in more ways than one . Update :
[ observe : Zing ! ]
The 26 - inch circle , of which more than 13,000 units were trade , was priced between $ 900 and $ 1,000 at Best Buy , yet the US Consumer Product Safety Commission allows Best Buy to get away with exchange a simple $ 500 gift card for the bad product . That means the client is bed out of either one-half or nearly half of the original price through no fault of their own , and they ’ll have to pay sales revenue enhancement yet again if they want to replace the goggle box . endowment cards , unlike store credit , are still subject to say sales tax , which on a large purchase like this can be a pregnant chunk of change .
HDGuru urge immediately interchange the Seth ( model act IS - LCTV26 ) , as it has already stimulate one injury and can not be repaired . Give Best Buy a call at ( 800 ) 233 - 0462 to riposte it .
We also concur that calling the US CPSC at 800 - 638 - 2772 to give ’em a piece of your judgement is guarantee . At the very least , we ask for all readers to load the Best Buy internet site and shake your fists angrily toward it . Update : I ’ve omit to tot up that $ 500 will be able to replace a TV of this sizing with today ’s prices . Most of Best Buy ’s 26″ high-definition television can be corrupt for $ 500 today .
