The product, in the report: Green Children’s Lantern 5inches tall
My son has been using this frog lantern for a couple of days now. He has it on for 30 minutes max while he colors. We used new batteries and the first day, we noticed clear fluid coming from the battery compartment, leaking even with the compartment door closed. We took out those batteries, which we soaked in the clear fluid, cleaned the battery compartment then put in another set of batteries. The next day, those leaked too. My son handled the lantern and I’m not sure if the fluid got on his hands or not. I had to put the lantern out of his reach and I’ll be taking it back to big lots for a refund.
