Description

The "All That Glitters" light and glitter wand is about 9 inches long, and has a gold-colored handle with a clear plastic ball on top filled with a pink liquid and glitter. Pushing on the bottom of the wand illuminates the ball. The wand operates with two AA-batteries. A plastic label on the side of the wand reads, "AA x2."

Hazard

The batteries can short-circuit, causing the wands' handles to become very hot and melt the plastic, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.

Remedy

Consumers should take these wands away from children immediately, and return them to the store where purchased, for a refund.

Incidents and injuries

Meijer has received two reports of the wands short-circuiting, causing the wands to become hot to the touch and the plastic to melt. No injuries have been reported.
