The product, in the report: Snuggle Buddy Australia, “Heat and Hug” Llama. White, with colored decorations. Aprox 10’x12”. New in box when purchased.
My 10 year-old daughter received a “Snuggle Buddy” llama yesterday for Christmas. It has an insert that is meant to be microwaved for 30 seconds and then replaced into the llama for a cosy sleep toy.
In the middle of the night she decided to re-warm the toy herself. She put the entire toy into the microwave and set it for 1 minute. The ears caught fire almost immediately (she thinks within 20 seconds) and completely melted the top of the toy. Thankfully she was able to get the fire out with hurting herself. When she came and got me the entire kitchen was smoky and the toy destroyed.
The ears were made of a gold-burlap looking material. There wasn’t any warning that the toy was extremely flammable, and I had read the warming directions and she hadn’t. Also- the buttons to remove/insert the heating pack are difficult to use, so it’s not hard to imagine others might stick the whole toy in the microwave out of frustration.
