A couple in Bellingham, Washington bought a Power Wheels dump truck at Toys “R” Us last Friday, and were planning to give it to their grandson. It’s one of those toy cars that are big enough for a kid to drive around.
But while they were heading home, it caught FIRE in the back of their truck, and they had to pull over to put it out.
It’s still not clear what happened, but we’re guessing the battery was defective?
Anyway, they immediately turned around and went back to Toys “R” Us to return the thing. But before they could even get there, it caught fire AGAIN and they COULDN’T put it out.
By the time firefighters got there, the flames were about 10 feet high. Obviously the store refunded their money, but it’s not clear who’s paying for the damage to their burned-out truck.
A rep for Toys “R” Us says they think it was just an isolated incident. But they’ve stopped selling that specific Power Wheels until they figure out what happened. (KING5)
