Incident: Serious burns and electrical shock
We got this toy today for our 4 year old. He was super excited. The toy has a lithium battery which charging is accessible via a port on the side. This is the main safety issue.
It mimics a real Tesla vehicle, but here’s the problem. As any toddler, my son thought that he could pretend he was refueling the car by using the phone jack cable and insert it on the battery socket. It caused a short circuit, that made his hand latch into the cable as he screams in pain asking for help.
Luckily I was nearby, at first I thought the car battery caught fire due the smell of plastic, then I realized what happened, the cable melted and the plastic started burning his small hands as he fought to release it but couldn’t due the electrical current.
This is a serious flaw in design, most electrical toy cars operate on acid batteries but those are hidden under the seat and can only be accessed via a screw removal.
This product should be recalled, and none of the electrical components should be exposed like that.
