The product, in the report: Sportrax Awesome XL Red Jeep Wrangler two seater Lead acid batteries Vehicle was purchased 2 weeks ago
On the evening of 8/14/18 at [REDACTED] North Andover, MA our communications center received a 911 call reporting a child’s battery powered ride on toy on fire. Our Engine 2 responded and extinguished the fire on the lawn of the home. The toy was purchased by [REDACTED] ([REDACTED] North Andover, MA) 2 weeks ago from www.bigtoysgreencountry.com for about $600. On the night of the fire [REDACTED] was out in the neighbors yard as her 3 year old and 16 month old seat-belted into the vehicle drove it around the yard. They had been using it about 20 minutes before they started driving up a hill which had been done before and this time the vehicle stopped moving. She began to smell a burning smell, heard popping, and saw smoke coming from the battery/ engine compartment of the vehicle. [REDACTED] unseat-belted the kids and removed them from the vehicle just before it became fully involved in fire. No injuries to the children. The only remains were the two axles, the four wheel drive motors, parts of the wiring harness, and the two batteries. One battery was severely burned and the other had its top half burned. Both batteries were 12 v 10amp sealed lead acid batteries wired in parallel. The remains are in a metal trash can at the [REDACTED] home. The batteries and their harness had been assembled when it was taken out of the box prior to first use.
The [REDACTED] had used the vehicle collectively for about 30-45 minutes in the two weeks they had it. The vehicle didn’t have any modifications according to the [REDACTED], it had never gotten wet, and was always stored inside. The vehicle was left plugged in when not in use. The vehicle’s manual does state max charging time of 12 hours, but no language about not leaving it plugged in all the time.
I contacted the distributor Rolling Hills Trading Company and notified them of the incident. They notified the manufacturer in China. Neither one has had a fire with this vehicle and they have sold thousands for the past 6 years. The remains are in a trash can with the [REDACTED] at their home.
