Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 17, 2016, sent to the company Dec 27, 2016, published by CPSC Jan 11, 2017
The product, in the report: Funny Gears
We purchased a set of Funny Gears for our granddaughter. We installed the battery in the Funny Brick (motorized part the drives the gears) per the + & - indicated in the battery chamber. Soon after, when our granddaughter picked up the Funny Brick she screamed and dropped the brick and said she burned her finger. The cause was a severely overheated battery which had heated enough to swell and split open.
The battery was a [REDACTED] AA alkaline battery and was fresh from the box it came in from the store.
This was clearly caused by improper wiring of the motor to the battery which caused a short which, in turn, caused the battery to expend it’s energy as heat. This needs to be brought to the attention of the manufacturer and end users.
I have not tampered with the Funny Brick and will ship it to you for inspection if necessary.
Thank you for addressing this safety issue.
