The product, in the report: Toy has 5 “floating-on-air”ball targets; soft foam darts; gun has revolving “6” barrel; LED lights and air-flow controls. User aims gun at targets that constantly “float”.
The item, SHARPER IMAGE HOVER TARGET GAME was purchased this morning at Bed, Bath & Beyond, taken home, and 4 “C” size batteries installed. Within 5 minutes the batteries began to “smell” and a touch by my hand on the battery cover indicated much heat coming from the compartment. To open the battery compartment required me to use a screwdriver. Meanwhile, the area got hot, really hot. I removed the cover to expose the batteries. It was impossible to remove the batteries with my hand because they were so hot. I used the screwdriver and a pair of pliers to pry out the 4 batteries and put them on an oven mitt. The batteries got so hot that the labels began to peel off so I put them in a covered pot to shield them from my grandson and carry them outside. Oh, the odor from the batteries was obnoxious. I called BB&B and talked with the “store manager”, [REDACTED], and explained the situation to her. She told me that she cannot remove items from the sales floor with on “official” order from corporate headquarters. So, I them contacted you, CPSC, and am requesting an immediate test of this product. I sincerely feel that this product could have ignited and caused a fire in my home and cause injury to myself and grandson handling the toy. The bar code is 6-94202-27447-7. Above the bar code are these numbers: 1003284 and (2303565). A peel-off label on the box contains the number:33508C7222. BB&B offered a refund; but this product has a serious flaw, at least the one I have. I’ll hold on to my item until I hear from the CPSC. Thank you.
