The “Fly Dragonfly†(also called “Queen Beeâ€) Remote-Controlled Helicopters, which were manufactured in China and distributed by Imagine Nation Books Ltd./Books Are Fun, of Boulder, Colorado, are involved.
The rechargeable battery inside the helicopters can overheat, igniting the helicopter and posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the “Fly Dragonfly†(also called “Queen Beeâ€) remote-controlled helicopters. The helicopters are black and yellow plastic, measure about 19 inches long by 6 ½ inches high. The helicopters have a rounded front yellow cockpit with bee decals and a narrow black plastic tail assembly.

The recalled Remote-Controlled Helicopters were sold for about $38 at book and gift fairs held in schools, hospitals, and office buildings nationwide from August 2009 through January 2010.
