SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20181227-5460D-2147383556. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Product: Sharper Image Sharper Image Electronic Laser Tag (Sharper Image Teo-player set Electronic Laser Tag 2-Player Action with infrared technology. 2 laser guns one red and one blue gun which is the gun that overheated and was smoking. 2 laser tag vests also included. The item number on the blue gun was also provided to Merch Source is 1005904.). Incident: Please be aware of Sharper Image Laser tag set! I purchased this for a gift for My sons for Christmas. Within minutes of playing with it on Christmas, [REDACTED] laser gun was smoking and hot! He handed it to [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] opened it with melted battery acid going everywhere. He also said it can blow up in your face! We did put in brand new [REDACTED] batteries. Plus, I am panic worried today with seeing other Facebook posts from other parents expressing very similar experiences and safety concerns with this same exact laser tag toy! I think there needs to be immediate action and I am worried about other kids and parents getting hurt. This seems to be sold at a variety of retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Joanne Fabrics to name a few. I have been trying to reach the proper channels to get more immediate results. I really had to go to bat and push Merch Source (company who services Sharper Image) to get more answers on what they were going to do to escalate this. This is totally unbelievable and needs to be pulled from the shelves ASAP!
