Jazwares has issued a recall for approximately 125,000 America’s Got Talent toy microphones that contain lithium-ion batteries because they pose a risk of fire.
According to a news release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the microphone marketed by the South Florida-based company amplifies the user’s voice and has treble, bass and echo switches. The toy is powered by lithium-ion batteries, and Jazware LLC has received three reports of the batteries igniting.
