Bluestem Brands is recalling about 4,700 battery-powered Range Rider ride-on toy cars because the battery can overheat, smoke, melt, and catch fire. There have been nine reports of batteries smoking or catching fire, which melted connections or scorched the plastic body of the toy car. The affected off-road style vehicles were sold in tan and pink through Fingerhut and Gettington between September 2010 and May 2012. Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and remove the battery to receive a full refund.
The toy's battery can overheat and ignite during use or charging, posing a serious fire and burn hazard to children. While no injuries have been reported, nine incidents involving smoke, fire, and melted plastic have occurred.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ride-on toy cars and remove the battery and contact Bluestem for a full refund of the purchase price plus reimbursement for shipping and handling. The firm is directly contacting those who purchased the recalled ride-on toy cars.
