Toys 'R' Us Just Pulled 1 Hot Holiday Toy After a Family's Car Burst Into Flames
After a newly purchased Christmas gift caught on fire, allegedly resulting in a family pick-up truck bursting into flames, Toys 'R' Us is no longer selling the large ride-on toy Tonka truck.
A Washington family was on their way home after purchasing the Tonka 12V Ride-On Dump Truck for their grandson when it caught on fire in the bed of their truck. After pulling over and extinguishing the flames, Delmond Harden told NBC News that he immediately turned around to return the toy. However, the truck ignited a second time and this time, his real-life truck burst into flames.
"The firefighter . . . doused the truck with water and I'm, I still can't believe it, we almost shut (Interstate)-5 down, and it was just a toy for our grandson, who would have known?" said Delmond.
In addition to a refund and apology to Delmond, Toys "R" Us has removed the toy from shelves. Although they believe this fire to be an isolated incident and haven't issued a full recall, Nicole Hayes, a Toys "R" Us spokeswoman, said they company will not be selling the toy truck again until after they investigate.
"We made a proactive decision to pull the item out of an abundance of caution and an investigation into the incident is currently taking place," Nicole said. "In the meantime, we are working closely with Dynacraft, the manufacturer, to determine the cause."
