The product, in the report: Thomas the Tank Engine Flashlight with siren whistle and Morse Code flash button
This involves the Thomas the Tank Engine Flashlight with siren whistle and morse code button. The flashlight stopped working, and we assumed the batteries had run down.
A few minutes later, my son cried out. He’d picked up the flashlight again, and it had grown extremely hot. I touched it quickly and nearly got burnt.
It was definitly hot enough to be very dangerous to anyone, let alone a small child.
