Air Hogs RC Skywinder Radio-Controlled Airplane

Recalls

The CPSC and Spin Master Toys, of Toronto, Canada are recalling about 7,500 Air Hogs RC Skywinder Radio-Controlled Airplanes, which were sold at Toys R Us, because 'the rechargeable battery pack inside the toy airplane can overheat posing a burn hazard.'

According to the CPSC recall alert, 'the recalled radio-controlled toy airplane is lightweight, made of silver or black Styrofoam, and measures 19 inches from wingtip to wingtip. 'Air Hogs Skywinder' is printed on the plane's wings. '2003 Spin Master Ltd' is printed on the right propeller mount. The airplane comes with a controller unit and a charger. Rechargeable batteries are preinstalled in the plane's fuselage. A date code beginning with 06XXXXHM is located under the plane's propeller, on the outside of the controller unit and inside the controller's battery compartment, and on the charger unit's stand.'

Consumers should stop using the airplanes and should contact Spin Master at (800) 622-8339 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.spinmaster.com to get a free replacement.
