What happened

Linn Inc. has recalled three power amplifier and speaker products due to a fire hazard. The affected products are the AV5105 2-Channel Power Amplifier (all serial numbers, available in black or silver, measuring 3 by 15 by 14 inches), the LK240 Single-Channel Power Amplifier (all serial numbers, available in black or silver, measuring 3 by 12½ by 12¾ inches), and the AV5150 Melodik Bass Extension Loudspeaker System (serial numbers 1001 to 714451, available in black ash, American cherry, or maple, measuring 19 by 25 by 19 inches). The problem is that capacitors in these products can overheat and blow a fuse, which can damage connected products and create a fire hazard.

Consumers who own these recalled products should stop using them immediately. Model and serial numbers can be found on the front panel, on the bottom of the product, or on the control panel near the main power supply. Affected consumers should contact Linn Inc. at (800) 595-6770 for information on obtaining a free repair.
