Two years after we reported on a Leapfrog recall affecting children 6 months to 36 months of age, word now comes that the company has recalled 35,000 units of a video game system.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission says rechargable batteries and power sources for the company’s game system marketed under the Didj name can overheat. Twelve reports of overheating have been reported to the company thus far resulting in at least one reported minor burn.
The recharging base and battery, made in China, should no longer be used. Consumers can call Leapfrog toll-free at (800) 701-5327 for more information.
