Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of serious injury from caustic battery contents and lacerations, but only one minor injury has been reported, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where significant injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Fisher-Price Inc. is announcing a repair program for approximately 100,000 Baseball Training Centers. The company is aware of five incidents where batteries used in the No. 2875 model overheated and exploded. While only one minor injury has resulted, serious injury could occur if caustic battery contents come into contact with skin or eyes.
The toy, which measures 3 feet wide, 3 feet high, and 15 inches deep, is designed for children three years old and older to practice pitching, hitting, and fielding. It features a blue plastic base, a white mesh net, and a mechanism that throws balls back out. The product was sold nationwide through large toy stores and other retail outlets for approximately $35.00.
Consumers who own the Baseball Training Center should turn off the toy and stop using it immediately. They should call Fisher-Price Consumer Affairs at 800-233-4004 to request a free repair kit containing a part to prevent battery overheating. Consumers should not return the product to retail outlets, as Fisher-Price has instructed retailers to remove the product from shelves and replace it with an improved version.
