Plasma Flat Panel Televisions

Recall program

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Philips participates in voluntary recall programs when a product is shown to cause a potential safety hazard.

Plasma Flat Panel Televisions

On certain Philips branded Plasma Flat Panel Televisions, arcing by capacitors can pose a safety risk. Only certain 42 and 50 inch, 2005 Philips Plasma Flat Panel Televisions with Ambilight technology are affected. Ambilight is a feature that projects a soft light onto the wall behind the TV to enhance the display.
