No one hurt Made Aug 4, 2019, sent to the company Aug 26, 2019, published by CPSC Sep 10, 2019
The product, in the report: A 3 led headlamp with elastic strap for use on outdoor excursions.
My husband bought a couple headlamps from Walmart for our kids to have while camping. When he brought them home I was looking at them and was able to open the battery compartment easily with a flick of my finger. Inside we’re 2 button batteries, which makes me very nervous to have them around our toddler.

First aid Made Nov 14, 2013, sent to the company Nov 21, 2013, published by CPSC Dec 6, 2013
The product, in the report: It was called a Pumpkin Torch. It has black handle that holds the batteries and a colored plastic Jack-O-Lantern on the end that lights up. This was a blue one.
I purchased a Pumpkin Torch at Wal-Mart for my kids on November 4. It was bought at the WM on Shackleford Rd in Little Rock, AR. I brought it home, replaced the batteries with new and handed it to my daughter. A few minutes later she screamed and threw it down crying “That burned me” clutching her hand to her chest. When I looked at it I saw melted plastic stuck to her hand. The end of the toy had melted, the metal burning through the plastic. I contacted WM repeatedly about it but have largely been ignored. E-mails were not responded to and their FaceBook page just redirected me to report it elsewhere with no response there. I know it was a seasonal toy, but I worry the same product is out there being remarketed for Christmas and another kid could get hurt!
