'Fun2Fly' Remote Control Helicopter Toys

February 12, 2008    Spanish
Soft Air USA is recalling about 30,000 'Fun2Fly' remote-controlled helicopter toys. The rechargeable battery contained inside the helicopter can catch fire during charging, igniting the helicopter and nearby combustible materials. This poses a burn or fire hazard to consumers.

Soft Air USA has received six reports of helicopters igniting, including one minor injury.

This recall involves the remote-controlled helicopter toy “Fun2Fly Microcopter” with item number 91001. The helicopter comes with a transmitter that controls and recharges the helicopter. The helicopter is made of foam and plastic and measures about 6 ½ inches by 2 ½ inches. The transmitter measures about 4 1/2 inches by 5 inches. “Fun2Fly” and “Microcopter” are printed on the packaging. The item number is printed above the UPC label.

The helicopters were sold at sporting goods stores and other retailers nationwide from May 2007 through December 2007 for about $30. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled toy helicopter and return it to the retailer where it was purchased for a full refund.
