Hospital admission Made Jul 8, 2014, sent to the company Jul 16, 2014, published by CPSC Jul 30, 2014
The product, in the report: Copper colored Flashlight with led on one end. compartment for matches on the other side with compass cap.
The flashlight exploded on my 3 year old daughter as she held it watching cartoons. It burned her hand, arm, chest, face, and eyes. It made a huge laceration in her leg which required surgery. She was admitted to Brenner’s children’s hospital where she underwent multiple tests and procedures. The Light part of the flashlight went into her leg and back out and the compass “lid” part is lodged into my ceiling about 10 ft from where she was sitting when it exploded. If the light had been pointed at a different angle this could have been a tragedy. Something more needs to be done to get the word out on this recall, we were not aware of this recall until after all of this happened.
