Hurt, no treatment Made Mar 22, 2014, sent to the company Apr 1, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 15, 2014
The product, in the report: Air Hogs RC Atmosphere Vehicle
I purchased the Air Hogs Atmosphere 2/09/14 at my local target. This item is a tremendous danger and needs to be recalled immediately. I cannot believe this toy would pass quality control/Safety committee as being safe for anyone.
We purchased this for my son who was never able to play with this item. I charged the Atmosphere read the instructions and then turned it on. It was no more than 30 seconds and it managed to hurt four people. I’m a 36 yr old and I would not recommend this to played with by anyone!
It flew in my hand for only a couple of seconds until it lost control and hit the floor. I attempted to grab it and it hit my fingers not causing major injury but it did hurt. This caused me to drop it. It then bounced across the room when my wife then tried to stop this out of control Orb only to be its next victim. It bounced off the floor caught some of her hair and ripped it out and hit her fingers as it did mine. This again caused it to fly out of control where my 6yr old then hurt his fingers trying to stop it. The same as before this caused it to fly out of control. It flew out of control until it hit my 13 month old. It smashed into his face and the blades hit his cheek right next to his eye and caused him to receive a black eye. As he was pulling it away from his face his fingers got caught in the propellers and finally stopped it.
I know this is not intended for children under 8. Even though It was intended for my 6 year old which he never even got to play with it. And seeing this thing in action he never will.
There is a kill switch on the base but it happened so fast you don’t even have time to think about it.
This thing is extremely dangerous and should be removed from the market immediately. You would be better off giving a child a BB gun at least that is predictable. Not this thing. The cage is flexible so whenever it hits something the cage bends and the propeller comes in contact with whatever it hits. In this case it was my entire family.
There is no way to turn it off unless you have the base immediately nearby without having come in contact with the propeller, you have to grab it in a way it’s unavoidable. Unless you leave it unattended to victimize your family to get the base. If this had been a fraction of an inch over my child could have easily lost his eye.
Contacted the company and they requested the item back for “testing”. In conversation I told them how extremely dangerous this thing is is. They they referenced that they have helicopters that have totally exposed propellers and don’t have issues with them as to which I responded as soon as you take your finger off the joystick they Stop! Not this thing. There’s no remote and unless the you have the base nearby your are in for a crazy experience.
Please do your research. This is not uncommon!!!!
