The recall involves two-way radios with 300 mah "CEL" batteries. The radios are made of pink plastic and come in purple packaging. You can find the product number PR191-2VP printed on the front of the packaging and on a label inside the battery compartment. The batteries are standard AAA Nickle Metal Hydride battery cells with a black wrapper and the battery name 300 mah (CEL) and the date code (TF or RF) on the battery itself.
If you have one of these two-way radio sets, you should stop using it immediately and contact Cobra Electronics for a free replacement and a 20% off coupon for a future purchase. If the batteries have leaked on the radio, do not touch the liquid.
