See All Images

On July 21, 2009 LEGO Systems voluntarily recalled the Power Function IR Remote Controls from its LEGO kits in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The remote's batteries can overheat and thus possibly burn consumers. LEGO received four reports of batteries overheating. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.

The remote, which is pictured, was manufactured in China and had only 1,600 units sold to the market before the recall. The product was available through LEGO catalogs and online at LEGO.com for only 13 months before taken off the market.

China makes lot of rubbish especially in appliances, computer etc. Here
in the Philippines everything is Chinese. Head phones for computers are
Chinese and break down very fast, printers and all. Epson inkjet printers are made in China. I have a HP now it's the third inkjet printer in five years and they all come from China. You can't get away from Chinese rubbish. Buy clothes and they are made in China. Printing ink is also made in China. Even bicycles and children's toys are all made in China. I have the third set of head phones because the
other two previous ones fell apart and had to be junked for recycling.
Cell phones and chargers are all made in China and nothing lasts like it used to do. Even diskettes and CD'S are made in China. 24/7/2009.
