Remedy

The firm is providing free repair kits containing a seal for the battery compartment, which will prevent battery leakage.

Incidents & injuries

Fisher-Price has received 30 reports of batteries leaking from the toy's battery compartment, including six reports of minor burn injuries to babies.
