The product, in the report: New Bright R/C Monster Muscle Olds 442 (orange) Full Function Radio Control - Forward/Reverse Drive Left/Right Steering - Range up to 100 ft - Up to 45 minute run time - SKU#050211015591 - No. 1559
My 5 year old son just received the Monster Muscle Radio Control Car (orange olds 442) for his birthday, and we have had an extremely dangerous situation occur with this product. My son had only used the product approximately 5 minutes before he placed the steering device down on our carpeted stairs. A few minutes later he went to pick the steering device up to play again and he screamed “Mommy why is this so hot?” I instantly ran over and grabbed it from his hand only to find the mechanism was EXTREMELY hot to the touch and smelled horrible. The device was too hot for me to remove the battery cover at that time. A few minutes later I was able to open the battery cover, only to find that the batteries had actually started melting. Not only could my son have been burned badly, but this could have very well started the carpeted stairs on fire. Please note that the two “AA” batteries we installed into the steering mechanism were brand new [REDACTED] batteries just removed from a brand new package of batteries. We do have photos if they are needed.
The product was purchased at a Target store in Illinois. Unfortunately, there was no gift receipt included because the purchaser had inadvertently misplaced it. The UPC on the bottom of the box is 050211015591. I do intend to contact a local Target store to inform them of this situation as well. I have also contacted Toys R Us to ensure they are aware of the potential hazard of this product.
