  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 24, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 16, 2011

    The product, in the report: Robosapien 2

    Product: Robosapien Version 2 aka RSV2 by Wowwee Robotics Purchased new 5 + years ago Today the robot didn’t respond to being turned on, so we replaced the batteries and the robot began to start up, said “I (think I) have a bad motivator”, then died; we smelled hot electrical wiring smell; no fire or smoke but removed batteries immediately. The D batteries in one of the feet were hot. The robot was placed outdoors until the smell mostly cleared and to be sure it wasn’t on fire inside. The batteries cooled off and the smell did clear unless you put your nose to it up close. Online community of other owners says this toy had a bad batch of wires in some of the toys where the insulation on the wires will crumble; there are several alarming photos of this where several wires will have bits of insulation off. There is no recall by the manufacturer that I see, yet many owners show photos of this and speak of smoke and heat in their robots, as well. Our robot has never been opened or hacked in any way; it has had no unusual or harsh use that would damage it. I have emailed the company just now, but felt this warrants your attention as well. Of note, the robot spoke the message “I (think I) have a bad motivator” (my memory isn’t sure if the “think I” was said); this isn’t in the manual, but on the company’s online problem form this is a choice to select as the reason the consumer would be reporting a problem. The batteries are: 3 Ds in each foot, total of 6 D batteries; 2 AAAs each in the feet for a total of 4 AAAs; none of the AAAs and only the 3 in one foot of the Ds got hot. Thank you.
