    A new Christmas toy, a gel blaster gun, caught fire overnight while charging.

    Gel Blaster SURGE Toy Blaster Shoots Eco-Friendly Water Gellets The Next Evolution in Backyard Fun and Outdoor Games for Boys and Girls Ages 12+ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M5HRBS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_R1P44QWPFM4Z4TARJKQ3

    We plugged in to charge around 10 pm and smoke detectors went off about 6 hrs later at 4:30 am. The gun was engulfed in flames on our kitchen counter.

    We were able to get the fire out ourselves. No structural damage to our home. Only impact was soot and smoke damage.

    We cleaned the house ourselves to remove the soot, replaced our blackened air filters, and had to require a restoration company to clean the air to get rid of the burnt plastic smell. The smell was so bad that our son was dry heaving and vomiting.

    We are unable to reach the manufacturer. We have left a voicemail at 844-gellets with no reply. We have also emailed 3 times to support@gelblasters.com and received delivery failures.

    Our only cost we have spent is with the restoration company and it was $580 to run an ‘air scrubber’ on each of our 3 floors for 2 days.

    We would like to get the company to reimburse the restoration cost but can’t reach them. We would also like to recall the toy. We saw other reviews on Amazon where other’s has also smoldered and was caught before catching fire.
