Kakgold Recalls 294 Remote-Controlled Car Toys: Batteries Easily Reached by Children Pose a Deadly Ingestion Risk, Full Refunds Offered
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on November 12 that Kakgold is recalling 294 4WD remote-controlled stunt car toys. The vehicles have a lime green and blue body, a black chassis and four black wheels with lime green trim, checkered patterns and the words PRO and RACING on the body, and a white hang tag marked Do Not Twist the Shaft in red lettering.
The recalled cars violate the mandatory standard for toys because the button cell and lithium-ion batteries in the remote control can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. Swallowed button cell or coin batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
Consumers should stop using the remote-controlled car toys immediately and contact Kakgold for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write RECALLED on the product and email a photograph showing the product being properly disposed of in the trash. (Source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)
