JAKKS brand battery packs are being recalled from the marketplace because they pose a fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday.

The lithium-ion polymer batteries, used to power Fly Wheels XPV toys, have been found to catch fire when being charged. The company has received 33 reports of batteries melting or igniting, including three reports of minor injury and 23 reports of property damage.

The recalled battery packs were sold with chargers labeled with the item number 73904 and 73906. The batteries are marked "Fly Wheelz," "XPV," "JAKKS Pacific" and "Lithium-ion Polymer battery (LiPo)."

The battery packs were sold at toy stores and department store across the U.S. and from online retailers from August 2006 through January 2007 for about $30, or $80 when bundled with a toy vehicle.

Consumers should stop using the product and call the company for a free replacement.
