Nintendo Japan recalls DS AC adapters
Turns out wrist straps aren't Nintendo's only worry at the moment, as the company reports that some of the AC adapters have a danger of melting due to overheat. While Google translation isn't the most accurate form of allowing text in one language be understood by people speaking another, we were able to ascertain that resins used in the construction of the plastic have been known to overheat and possibly causes large amounts of smoke and even catch fire.
The original DS Phat models Japanese gamers need be concerned with are the January - June 2006 shipment and the July - October 2006 shipments of Lites are also in danger. So, if you're in possession of a DS Phat or Lite manufactured in the corresponding time periods, you should probably get with Nintendo Customer Service as soon as you can.
