   The product, in the report: Goosky Legend S2 RTF (“Ready To Fly”) remote-controlled helicopter manufactured by Shenzhen Goosky Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. - Yellow - Mode 2

   I am writing to file a complaint about the Goosky Legend S2 RTF (“Ready To Fly”) remote-controlled helicopter manufactured by Shenzhen Goosky Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., based in China. During my initial setup of this product, the main blades unexpectedly spun up to a very high rate of speed without warning, despite the throttle stick on the included T8 transmitter being in the lowest position. I believed the power cut switch to be in the position to disable the blades; however, I later learned that was not the case due to the absence of labeling on the transmitter switches. This incident resulted in multiple lacerations to my arm that required medical attention and out of pocket expenses. I believe this incident was due to several serious safety deficiencies with this product:

   1. Inadequate Instructions: The included Quick Start Guide did not adequately emphasize crucial safety precautions, such as the need to remove the blades during setup. Notably, this Ready To Fly kit does not include the tools necessary to remove the blades. Additionally, the Quick Start Guide provided unclear information about the transmitter’s controls and the function of each switch on the transmitter. I learned after the incident that the position of these switches is critical in order to maintain control of the helicopter and prevent the main blades from inadvertently spinning. 2. Inadequate Safety Warnings: The product did not include sufficient warnings about the potential hazards of having the T8 transmitter switches in incorrect positions. After the incident, I learned that certain switch positions could cause the helicopter to spool up to high speed regardless of the throttle stick’s position - an outcome that would not likely be anticipated by an ordinary person. 3. Absence of Labeling on the Transmitter: Most of the T8 transmitter switches were not labeled at all, and the included diagram did not clearly explain their multiple positions and functions. This lack of labeling led me to incorrectly believe that the power cut switch was in the safe position, directly contributing to the unsafe situation.

   These shortcomings contributed directly to my injuries, and I believe the product is unsafe as currently designed. I have found indications on the internet through videos and product reviews where other users of this product have expressed concerns over the inadequate instructions and the absence of labeling on the transmitter. To prevent similar incidents from occurring, I urge the Consumer Product Safety Commission to investigate this product and require improvements, particularly to the instructions and transmitter labeling. Please let me know if any additional information is needed for this complaint. Thank you for your attention to this serious safety concern.
