What happened

This recall involves a radio-controlled toy car set (models MH-787-039 and MH-787-038) manufactured by MING HONG that includes a toy car, remote control, and FENGHUI ELECTRONIC battery charger (Model FH-2210572U). The product poses an electric shock hazard because the battery charger has a non-standardized plug that leaves live pins accessible when connected to a power supply. Additionally, the charger is missing required safety markings and warnings, including the age symbol for 8 years and certain safety instructions. The product also presents a burn risk because the charger's cover overheats significantly during abnormal use. The product does not comply with European low voltage and safety standards.

Authorities in Hungary ordered the withdrawal of this product from the market and its recall from consumers. The record does not specify what remedy or action affected consumers should take in response to this recall.
