    The product, in the report: CAT Take-A-Part Truck: Wheel Loader UPC 011543802402 by Toy State Industrial Manufacture Date Stamp: 23MAR08

    I have a CAT Take-Apart Truck: Wheel Loader with the older version of the drill. The markings on the scoop say 5554 A1, and the markings on the inside cover of the battery compartment of the drill say 5556 D. There is also a date stamp/embossment on the bottom of the vehicle: 23March08. I just found the drill on my kitchen floor running, and the handle was hot to the touch. When I tried to turn it off, I couldn’t. It continued to run, and when I opened the battery compartment, the two new [REDACTED] batteries I inserted yesterday were hot (not warm) to the touch, and the plastic casing was melting off. The inside of the battery compartment was also starting to malform. I’m glad that I caught it, since this is obviously a fire hazard. Yesterday, when I put the new batteries in, the drill worked fine and toggled off.
