The product, in the report: Sanyo Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries
I purchased a [REDACTED] seahorse about 3 weeks ago from Amazon.com. A couple months before that I purchased Sanyo Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries from Amazon.com as well. The seahorse worked fine for 2 weeks, but then started to lose its power so I replaced the batteries with the Sanyo ones. I took my son to the bath and when we returned about 10 minutes later I went to put it in his crib and it burned my hand. I turned it over and the battery area had melted some of the plastic, released battery fumes, and caused extreme heat. The toy began smoking as well. This is a baby toy that is supposed to assist in falling asleep! I am assuming it is the battery’s fault, but the glow seahrose did lose power very soon after it was purchased. If I had not held the toy before putting it in his crib, my infant son would have been burnt and exposed to toxic fumes and could have potentially gotten battery acid on his face. The batteries that were put in were brand new and had never been used before.
I would really like someone to take a look at this toy and figure out the cause because it would be devastating if this happens to a child or anyone else for that matter. I have not contacted either company because I know they would want me to ship the items back and would probably offer a replacement, which is really not what I want.
I appreciate your help.
