Radio Transmitters for Model Aircrafts Recalled
About 15,000 Spektrum DX6i Radio Transmitters used with model aircrafts are being recalled because the defective radio transmitters can cause model airplanes and helicopters they control to fall from the sky while in flight and crash into bystanders or property. The propellers can also spin unexpectedly injuring a person standing too close or working on the aircraft. This poses impact and laceration hazards to consumers and a risk of property damage.
To date, the manufacturer, Horizon Hobby, is aware of 2 injuries that resulted in multiple cuts to the hands.
The recalled Spektrum DX6i radio transmitters are used to control model airplanes and helicopters. "Spektrum DX6i" is printed on the front of the transmitters. The transmitters were sold individually or as part of 3 different ready-to-fly model aircraft.
The products were sold thorugh independently-owned model and hobby shops from July 2008 through January 2009 for about $200 for the transmitter, or for between $400 and $500 for the transmitter when sold with a model airplane or helicopter.
