Washington - Over 100,000 battery packs sold with Disney-branded portable DVD players have been recalled, due to a risk of overheating and possibly bursting while recharging. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with China-based battery manufacturers McNair Technology and Unitech Battery, and Florida-based distributor Memcorp made the announcement on Thursday, adding that consumers should stop using the battery packs and contact Memcorp for a replacement. Some 17 battery packs have already caused various injuries. The DVD players -- which feature characters such as Mickey Mouse or the Power Rangers -- were sold at electronics retailers and Disney theme parks for between $70 and $130 from April 2005 through March 2006.
