    Made Jul 28, 2014, sent to the company Aug 6, 2014, published by CPSC Aug 20, 2014

    The product, in the report: Glow Pet Pillow Pet Unicorn

    On June 6th my 13 year old daughter had back surgery (2 rods and 18 screws) (she was unable to move). I bought her a unicorn glow pet. I got back to her hospital room and installed the batteries. Within seconds she said “mom i smell a [REDACTED]”. I told her no and walked back to her bed and saw the pillow pet smoking and was to hot to touch. I hurried and removed the batteries and the room reaked of melting wires and smoke. I contacted the company and all they wanna do is send her another one. If I had not been there with her she would have been burned or worse. She was in [REDACTED] Hospital

    Made Jan 24, 2014, sent to the company Feb 20, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 7, 2014

    The product, in the report: Glow Pet (pillow pet)

    Caller stated that he changed the 3 AA batteries for the glow pet but it would not work, he left them in there for about an hour and half. His daughter alerted him that there was a strange odor emitting from the pillow pet, and in his investigations he found out that the odor was emitting from the on and off switch and it was hot to the touch. He removed the batteries to prevent further damages. The glow pet was used previously with the original batteries but this incident occurred when he changed the batteries.

    He attempted to contact the manufacturer but he was unable to reach anyone.

    Caller is concerned that the product is a safety hazard and should be reported.

    The product, in the report: Pillow pets Ages3+ Glow pets; Magical pets that lite up Opens to a 16 inch pillow; requires 3 AA batteries not included

    While checking pillow pet to place batteries in something punctured a finger. I found a copper wire protruding from the right rear leg of the pillow. It’s long enough to hurt a baby and long enough to hurt or put an eye out. I will keep the pillow with wire protruding until I’m told what to do with it.
