November 4, 2026 — An incident report details serious safety concerns for the Rocket Astronaut Light BL-HJ07 Rocket Astronaut Music Star Light, manufactured by GAOGANG XIANGTAI DRY CLEANER dba FLYLILY, after its remote control batteries overheated and caused burns, followed by the projector unit exhibiting electrical malfunction symptoms.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The incident occurred when a user was changing the AA or AAA batteries in the remote control for their Rocket Astronaut Light BL-HJ07. Immediately upon attempting to replace the batteries, they reportedly became extremely hot, causing painful burns to the user’s fingertips. This initial event affected two individuals. The next day, the main projector unit began to exhibit alarming symptoms, including a strong smell of hot plastic and audible electrical sounds emanating from within the device, indicating a potential internal electrical fault. The incident report includes photographic evidence of one burn injury a day after it occurred. The retailer where the product was purchased was not specified in the report.
Safety Concerns
This incident raises several serious safety concerns for consumers:
- Thermal Burns: The primary and immediate danger observed was the extreme heat generated by the remote’s batteries, leading to direct burns on the user’s fingertips. This indicates a potential defect in the remote’s battery compartment, battery contacts, or circuitry, which could cause batteries to short-circuit, overheat, and even rupture or explode.
- Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard: The subsequent report of the projector unit smelling like hot plastic and emitting electrical sounds is highly concerning. This suggests an internal electrical fault, such as short-circuiting, overheating components, or damaged wiring within the projector itself. Such conditions can pose significant risks of electrical shock to users and, critically, a severe fire hazard, potentially leading to property damage or further injuries.
- Undefined Cause: Without a clear understanding of whether the issue originated from the remote, the batteries used, or the projector’s internal components, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact failure mechanism. This uncertainty means that consumers using this product, even if they haven’t experienced remote issues, could still be at risk from a latent defect within the projector unit.
- Who Might Be Affected: Anyone owning or using the Rocket Astronaut Light BL-HJ07, especially those who frequently interact with the remote control or operate the projector for extended periods, could be at risk. Children, who are often the target audience for such “star light” products, are particularly vulnerable due to their curiosity and potentially less cautious handling of electrical devices.
- Property Damage Potential: An electrical fire originating from a defective projector could lead to extensive property damage to homes and surroundings.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the serious nature of this incident, consumers who own a FLYLILY Rocket Astronaut Light BL-HJ07 Rocket Astronaut Music Star Light should take immediate action:
- Stop Using Immediately: If you own this specific model, discontinue use of both the remote and the projector unit immediately. Unplug the projector from any power source and remove any batteries from the remote control.
- Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not try to repair the product yourself or attempt to troubleshoot any issues. Handling potentially damaged electronics can be dangerous.
- Check Your Product: Verify if your product is the “Rocket Astronaut Light BL-HJ07 Rocket Astronaut Music Star Light” manufactured by GAOGANG XIANGTAI DRY CLEANER dba FLYLILY. The model number might be found on the product packaging, the product itself, or in the instruction manual.
- Safe Storage/Disposal: Store the product in a safe, non-combustible location away from flammable materials. Do not dispose of it in regular household trash, especially if it contains batteries. Contact your local waste management facility for proper disposal instructions for electronic waste and batteries.
- Report Incidents: If you have experienced a similar incident or any other safety issue with this product, report it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov. Detailed reports are crucial for identifying patterns and initiating potential recalls.
