The product, in the report: Battery contained in the Ematic Dual-Core 7” Tablet with Andriod 4.4, KitKat EGD172BL
The Ematic Dual-Core 7” Tablet was plugged into a wall outlet and was turned off. When I started to use it this morning, I noticed that the cover was ajar. Upon further investigation I discovered that the battery was blown up like a balloon and had disengaged the lid exposing the battery and the interior wires and components. I have unplugged the item and there has not been further incident. I intend to return it and inform Walmart of the incident and my report of it.
When searching for similar complaints on the internet I discovered that there are numerous cases of this happening to consumers. At many different times the battery has even burst while in use.
This is an item that was frequently used by my 10 year old son and I am very concerned about children being injured while using this product.
