Eton has issued a recall for the Eton E1XM AM/FM/Shortwave/XM Satellite Radio receiver, for units found in serial range 3,067 - 5,462.

The issue that Eton has discovered is a missing trace on the circuit board. In the event that a customer has the unit plugged into an electrical outlet, using the AC adapter for power, and has a set of batteries in the unit, it could cause battery heat-up, leakage and possibly rupture. This may cause fire and/or personal injury.

If you purchased an Eton E1XM within this serial number range, please contact Eton technical support immediately at 800-872-2228 from 9am - 4 pm PT, Monday through Friday. You will receive a replacement receiver free of charge, and as a token of Eton's appreciation, they will be offering a complimentary FR200 Emergency Radio for your inconvenience.
