Recalled product: Hobby-Lobby Int'l Recalls Battery Chargers Used with Helicopters Due to Fire Hazard

The hazard

The lithium-polymer batteries can ignite while charging, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled chargers and batteries immediately. Consumers can receive new batteries and a "smart" charger that will shut down when the charging process is completed by contacting sales@hobby-lobby.com. Hobby-Lobby International has directly contacted consumers who purchased the products from them. Consumers should not return the batteries and chargers to the firm, but follow instructions for disposal and registration on their Web site.
