More toy helicopter tragedy.
First, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has put the kibosh on another toy helicopter because of exploding battery problems. The Chinese-made batteries in Hobbico Inc's Electrifly helicopter kits due to problems with the batteries melting, bursting into flames, and causing property damage.
On a sadder note, a six-year old boy was killed by a toy helicopter in the rural Brazilian city of Altinho in the state of Pernambuco. No word on what model it was, but let's face it, these things are just bad.

Great, I have a neighbor who flies his toy helicopter around in our neighborhood. Need to show him your article.
I keep telling people that it's really a marketing problem. If they just advertised it as an "Exploding Toy Helicopter" all their troubles would be over.
