Remote-Controlled Helicopter Toys Recalled by Innovage Due to Fire
and Burn Hazards

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), Innovage LLC, of Foothill Ranch, Calif., is voluntarily
recalling about 685,000 "Sky Scrambler" and "The Sharper Image"
Wireless Indoor Helicopters. The rechargeable lithium ion battery
inside the helicopters can overheat, catch fire, and ignite nearby
combustibles, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.



Face it. The Chinese are attacking us. They are just being very clever
about it.

They sure are. Rather than correct our bogus design specifications to
something less dangerous, they deliver exactly what we order and let us hang
ourselves. Talk about good use of resources!
