Lighsabre Safety Warning !
You've probably all read about it in the papers by now but
http://www.hasbro.com/consumer/safety.html has the official word from
Hasbro on the Lightsabre safety scare. And in case you haven't a few of
the new Lightsabres (30 in 600,000) have been prone to overheating the
batteries and blowing up somewhat.
As I understand it this only applies to the Qui Gon Jinn Lightsabres (we
don't have any) and Darth Maul Lightsabres (we have a few of them .....
Charlotte, Giles, Liam, Steve, Adrian, Andy, David have all acquired them)
Someone might like to contact Hasbro UK and explain they were given one as
"a gift" by someone who brought one back from the states and see what they
say ....
It _does_not_ apply to the Luke Jedi and Darth Vader lightsabres that until
recently were our favourite choice of light up plastic toy for whacking
each other round the head with.
As a consequence of this I'm having a little trouble finding the last 6
Darth Maul Lightsbares I need - so we'll probably have to wait till the
safe ones come out.
