Family Dollar Stores, Inc., of North Carolina is recalling approximately 67,000 children\u2019s remote control tanks because of a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a> (CPSC). The Authentic Heroes Target Practice Tank play set was sold nationwide at Family Dollar Stores between September 2010 and December 2010 for about $5 each. <\/p>\n

There have been five reports of the toy\u2019s controller overheating and melting, posing a fire hazard to children. So far, no injuries have been reported. However, parents should immediately take away the toy, remove the batteries and return the tank and controller to the Family Dollar to prevent a fire or injuries from occurring. Full refunds of the toy will be issued upon return.<\/p>\n

It is illegal to resell a recalled consumer product in Oklahoma as well as the rest of the United States. <\/p>\n

Toy companies and other manufacturers of children\u2019s products have a legal responsibility to consumers to ensure that their products are free of defects and safe, when used properly. When that responsibility is ignored and someone suffers an injury because of a defect or other oversight, the designer, manufacturer, or distributor of the product can be held legally accountable. <\/p>\n

If your child has been injured by a dangerous children\u2019s product in Oklahoma, it would be wise to contact a skilled personal injury attorney. The Oklahoma City dangerous product lawyers<\/a> at The Maples Law Firm understand how difficult a serious injury can be, especially if a child sustains an injury.
