A spokesperson for Nintendo has confirmed that a customer repair centre in the UK, which deals with its products has been recently hit by a fire. Thankfully no one was injured, but a number of Nintendo consumers have been affected by the fire.
“We can confirm that on Tuesday 18th November, a fire broke out in the warehouse owned by RepairTech, the company that Nintendo UK uses to fulfil its customer repairs. Nintendo UK only used the warehouse for UK based product repairs and storing of associated repairs equipment, it did not contain stock that would at any point be sent to a retailer for sale to the public. We are pleased to confirm that no one was hurt.”
The firm have also confirmed that they will issue replacements of any hardware/software of customers whose products were damaged.
