The product, in the report: Fast Lane rc wildfire 2.4 ghz
Fast track RC wildfire battery started to melt after only a few minutes of use. It does not sit securely inside the battery compartment and visibly sparked while removing it after smelling something burning inside the toy. Had I not been sitting on the floor with my son he would have kept playing with it eventually causing a fire.

No one hurt Made May 22, 2011, published by CPSC Jun 14, 2011
The product, in the report: FastLane, Remote Control, FA-005 helicopter, 3 channel, toys r us
My son purchased a FastLane RC FA-005 helicopter from Toys R Us. The incident described below occurred on the same day of purchase.
After he flew it for a few minutes, one of the motors appeared to stop working and then the helicopter started smoking. We turned it off but it continued to emit smoke for 7-10 minutes and started malfunctioning -- one set of rotors started turning even though I had turned the helicopter off. Thinking that I had made a mistake, I switched the power switch again and the rotors continued to turn. The decorative lights were blinking on and off as well, regardless of what position the power switch was in.
This toy is clearly a fire hazard and we find it suspicious that the instruction manual states that the helicopter should not be left unattended when charging. It takes 2 hours to charge and I can’t think of very many people that are going to “baby sit” a toy for 2 hours while it charges; clearly though, this helicopter should not be left alone!
A final note, which may or may not be related -- the instructions stated that the charger had a light that would come on when the helicopter was fully charged. However, the charger that came with this helicopter did not have a light. The box that the toy came in did not appear to have ever been opened before and the plastic bag that the charger was in was also unopened so it is the charger that the manufacturer placed in the box with the toy but again, it did not match the instructions.
