    The product, in the report: Anamatronic Story Bear

    I bought a Sound N Light Animatronics Company Ltd, “Twas The Night Before Christmas Bear” from Home Depot last year. It was placed in climate controlled storage until this last Christmas. I gave it to my son and he played with it on Christmas day.

    Today, he asked me to replace the batteries. When i opened the battery door, I noticed the stickers on the batteries that came with the bear were deformed. There was some deformed plastic on the battery dividers inside the battery compartment.

    I replaced the batteries and the bear would not work. I smelled electronic smoke and noticed smoke coming from the battery compartment. I removed the batteries which had gotten extremely hot. The hottest of the batteries had discharged from 1.4 volts to 1.15 volts in about 3 minutes. The other two had discharged to 1.3 volts in that same, short time.

    I believe this toy is a fire hazard. I have kept the toy and the original batteries. I do not have the original packaging. The product UPC code is: “0 234510 181225”
