The product, in the report: Hexbug. Blue mechanical crab
My son received a hexabug for Christmas. In the last week, the batteries have exploded twice. Both times it blew the bottom case off the bug and left traces of the battery chemicals on the toy and broken tiny pieces of plastic from the case. Thank goodness the toy was not in use either time.
