Victrola is recalling about 5,700 Wood Metropolitan Bluetooth Record Players because they can overheat and catch fire. The company has received six reports of overheating or fire, including one minor injury and one report of minor property damage.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The product poses a risk of fire-related harm with six reported incidents of overheating or fire. Although there is one minor injury and minor property damage reported, this places the recall above the threshold for theoretical risk-of-harm products. The hazard is not mere labeling or cosmetic, but a structural/functional defect creating fire danger.
