Best Buy : DS Lite Set, Nintendo, »Colleen«

A UK government agency has issued a warning about counterfeit imported Nintendo DS and DS Lite consoles that pose fire and safety hazards.

’Tis the season to be wary of counterfeit goods. In Britain, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued a warning after the seizure of hundreds of counterfeit Nintendo DS and DS Lite consoles with dangerous power adapters.

A number of people who had ordered the products after being attracted by the price, around $ 60 instead of the normal $ 150. Nintendo has said that the adapters do not produce.

HMRC warned that people should buy only reputable Web sites, and Clare Merrills HMRC spokesman told the BBC that the falsification of defective consoles could pose security problems:

"You can find the plug on the adapter and down the fire or the wires begin to melt and stick out."

"By buying these products, you’re not funding our economy, you’re actually funding these criminals in places far and that could be linked to terrorism."
