Remote-Controlled Helicopters Recalled

Washington, DC: About 46,000 Fly Dragonfly (also called "Queen Bee"), Remote-Controlled Helicopters are being recalled by the distributor, Imagine Nation Books Ltd./Books Are Fun, of Boulder, CO, because the rechargeable battery inside the helicopters can overheat, igniting the helicopter and posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

To date, the firm has received 49 reports of the helicopters overheating, including six reports of flames coming from the helicopters, and one report of minor property damage.

The recalled helicopters are black and yellow plastic, measure about 19 inches long by 6 ½ inches high. The helicopters have a rounded front yellow cockpit with bee decals and a narrow black plastic tail assembly. They were sold with a remote-control unit and a separate charger. "Fly Dragonfly" and SKU #51727 are printed on the packaging.

The toys were sold at book and gift fairs held in schools, hospitals and office buildings nationwide from August 2009 through January 2010 for about $38.
