No one hurt Made Apr 20, 2014, sent to the company May 15, 2014, published by CPSC May 30, 2014
The product, in the report: Marvel Spider-Man Projector Flashlight. Distributed by “What Kids Want!” INC. Northridge CA 91324 USA.
The item is a Marvel Spider-Man Projector Flashlight distributed by a company called “what kids want” (http://whatkidswant.net)
The flashlight requires two 1.5V AA batteries.
Apon putting new [REDACTED] batteries into the flashlight the handle immediately became extremely hot. I removed the batteries to find the First battery (inner most) had become so hot it had blistered and swelled to the point of near rupture. It was too hot to hold without being burned.
At first I suspected a defective battery, so I replaced it. The exact same thing happened immediately. Clearly there is a defect in the circuitry of the flashlight.
After poking around online I discovered other posts by consumers complaining of the exact problem with the exact same product. The report was even the same battery within the flashlight case.
This isn’t just a dangerous toy, this could potentially result in child fatalities or at minimum, serious burns to children, and it should not just be recalled, it should be actively sought out for removal from store shelves.
