According to the complaint, the home owner was compensated for "substantial" fire damage by the Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Liberty Mutual is attempting to recover its costs from Nintendo. In addition to the $236K, the company seeks interest and court costs. The suit, filed yesterday with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, notes that Nintendo previously conducted a product recall of DS units due to overheating issues. From the complaint: Quote: The [DS] was defective in design, manufacture and/or because it failed to warn consumers as to dangers associated with it... due to defects existing within the Product which caused a risk of overheating and fire, the Product was recalled by Nintendo. source good thing that the Wii prints money, Nintendo might need it.

But you're new Sheik, so it's okay, don't worry about it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo has clearly said not to put the DS or accessories in intense cold or heat conditions. How, exactly, did they say it ignited?
	xan man twisted_mind29 Thank you Troy! You are not dum too. well there goes the whole smart thing...

If you are using a recalled system, you are using it at your own risk. Therefore, these people have no case.
