First aid Made Dec 24, 2014, sent to the company Jan 7, 2015, published by CPSC Jan 22, 2015
The product, in the report: Product is a winged fairy doll with detachable wings. She has pink hair, comes in Caucasian and African American skin tones. Wears a rainbow colored costume. Spins from a blue base that is charged with 6 AA batteries. Base attaches to doll using a small power cord. Doll is thick, hollow plastic.
The Flutterbye Deluxe dolls are defective. The doll flies erratically and despite following every safety precaution, the doll flew into my face, hands and leg, leaving cuts all over. Three other people who were with me also received cuts and bruises when the doll flew away from my hand and into their legs. The doll is supposed to be guided by hand movement, as the packaging describes, but instead it will fly erratically. The doll’s fingers and wings are very sharp, and the wings also light up,

The product, in the report: Flutterbye Flying Fairy- Dusk
6 year old daughter was using a Flutterbye Flying Fairy as suggested. It was placed on the floor (flat surface). She pushed the button on the launch pad. Despite her hair being pulled back in a pony tail, the Flutterbye Flying Fairy’s rotating center caught loose hair near her face, tangling it around the center of the toy. I was able to loosen it some, but ultimately had to cut the hair to detach the Flutterbye Flying Fairy.

This item can easily get tangled in hair. My daughter was playing with her new toy on Christmas day. There is no way to control the speed or how high the toy flies in the air. The fairy flew into the wall, darted downward (still spinning) and landed in my daughter’s hair getting tangled so badly I had to cut it out of her hair.

The product, in the report: This is a flying fairy toy that lifts from a battery-operated charging base at the push of a button.
This report pertains to the Flutterbye Flying Fairy Doll manufactured by Spin Master. The recommended age is 5 and up.
We purchased this toy for our 8-year old daughter for Christmas. The premise of the toy is that the fairy sits on a charging base that is powered by batteries. Then, the child pushes a button and the fairy flies up from the base. In theory, the fairy goes up and down based on whether or not there is a hand underneath her.
My concern with this product is that my older daughter was looking at the fairy, getting ready to play with it. She had not tied back her hair. My younger daughter rushed over and pushed the button. Upon doing so, predictably, the fairy lifted from the base and immediately got tangled in my daughter’s hair - from the ends to three-quarters of the way to her scalp. My daughter has waist-length hair.
I have read other reviews online since returning the product for a refund and understand that this is not an isolated incident. Though my daughter was not hurt, I am concerned a child may be hurt by this toy. We returned our toy to the store and got a refund.

My child received a Flutterbye Fairy for Christmas. We followed the instructions included in the package and played with the toy. The toy flew in the faces of people instead of floating above palms as the package claims. It hit people in the faces, it got tangled in hair, and it nearly caused several other eye and facial injuries. After that, the toy broke and refused to work again.
This toy is recommended for small children and is truly dangerous. It can gouge eyes, cause children to become entangled, and cause welts to the body. Customer service to address the matter is slow to unresponsive. Please help!

The product, in the report: Fairy that uses propellers to move upward with a hand underneath.
My daughter placed her hand under the fairy as shown on tv, but when it began to fall to the floor and she tried to catch it, the propellers hit her hand with enough force to cause her pain. She tried the toy again and this time when she tried to keep the toy in the air the propellers sliced across the top of her hand and left bleeding scratches and cuts. She now has scarring on the top of the hand that was cut, by this toy.

The product, in the report: Flutterbye Flying Fairy. Her plastic skirt spins and she “flies” through the air with a fan like motion. We have purple.
My 8 year old daughter received a Flutterbye Flying Fairy as a gift. It is manufactured by Spin Master Ltd. The doll flies off it’s stand in a fanlike motion. The item flew into her hair and tangles so badly he hair had to be cut. It also hit another child in the face.
There is no way to control the speed, distance and direction of the doll. It is very dangerous. Not only a tangle hazard but could easily hit someone in the eye.
Please look into the safety of this item.
Thank you
