CPSC and QSP, Inc., Announce Recall of Flying Saucer Toys

Reported: March 3, 2005 Initiated: March 3, 2005 #05547

Product Description

Flying Saucer battery-powered toys with model numbers 83153 and 3321 consist of a 9-inch diameter foam saucer with a rechargeable motor at its hub, and a plastic propeller under the motor. The Flying Saucer is a foam ring with seven ribs or blades between the hub and the outer ring. The propeller rotates inside the circumference of the foam ring. The toy comes with a plastic hand-held "thrust transmitter" that is used to activate and control the speed of the saucer. Each toy also comes with an AC adapter for recharging the saucer's batteries. No other models are affected.

Reason for Recall

The Flying Saucer can overheat while charging, resulting in the plastic motor cover starting to melt, creating a risk of burns to children handling the toy.

Remedy

Schools and fundraising officials have received notification of this recall. Consumers can return the product for a replacement prize of equal value.
