  1. No one hurt

    Made Sep 14, 2019, sent to the company Oct 10, 2019, published by CPSC Oct 25, 2019

    The product, in the report: It is a tube racing toy that has connected tubes, a car, and a remote. You setup the tubes and the remote moves the car around the inside of the tubes. https://buyzoomtubes.com

    I received Zoom Tubes Car Trax as a gift for my son. The second day we had it my son came to me and said the remote was hot. I looked and the film on the batteries was melting off and it was really hot. It eventually stopped working and I took the remote apart. The plastic on the inside was melted. I contacted the manufacturer and they did not seem to care their remote melted. Additionally, they refused to do anything to help.

    I looked on Amazon for other reviews and a lot of people are talking about how the remote got hot or caught on fire.

    Made Jan 30, 2019, sent to the company Feb 6, 2019, published by CPSC Mar 1, 2019

    The product, in the report: Car track called Zoom Tubes Car Trax. It contains clear tubes for the track and we have two cars and two remotes, one blue set and one orange set. Item # ZMT Batch No 31950

    The car track was being used according to directions. The cars were in the track and working fine, my twin 5 year old boys were using one car and one remote each. Then we went to bed and woke up the next day to use the car track again. The orange remote for the orange car had melted and warped. We decided to take out all the batteries so we wouldn’t catch anything on fire. One of the batteries is stuck in the orange remote due to it melting.

  5. No one hurt

    Made Jan 29, 2019, sent to the company Feb 6, 2019, published by CPSC Mar 1, 2019

    The product, in the report: This is a race track made of tubes. There is a car that goes into the tubes and a battery powered remote control.

    We received this race track in December 2018. We played with it a handful of times, turning the remote to “off” each time. This was stored appropriately as well. My husband and son went to play with it and the remote was completely melted and the batteries were as well. The inside has some darkening due to whatever malfunctioned. This was not being used at the time this occurred, but had happened within a day of finding it as he had used it a day prior. No injuries occurred, but this could have created a very dangerous and serious issue. After this happened, we researched the toy and this is a major issue that many people are experiencing.

    The product, in the report: Zoom tubes car track mega racer 50 pc It comes with a car and remote control that races in the thbws

    Purchased zoom tubes car tracks for my child. The remotes melted. This is a fire hazard and could burn a child badly!!! I’ve seen several reviews on [Redacted] that tons of people have had this problem with the melting remotes. Some people’s have smoked and even caught fire some remotes have had batteries explode and some have burned children badly. This product needs to be recalled immediately. I have been unable to get customer service to return any of my calls and they do not have an email address on file
