January 6, 2026 – A consumer has reported sustaining a burn injury to their right hand after the handle of a Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher, Stock #70061, reportedly became extremely hot during a brief period of use. The incident highlights a potential burn hazard associated with the popular toy.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On September 15, 2025, a consumer was actively using the Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher for approximately 10 minutes when they noticed the toy’s handle becoming excessively hot to the touch. The consumer’s right hand suffered a slight burn, which they stated would be treated at home. The individual believes that this overheating issue poses a significant burn risk to any user of the product. Following the incident, the consumer attempted to contact the manufacturer, Blip Toys LLC, but was unsuccessful in reaching them, as noted in an update on December 17, 2025.
Safety Concerns
The reported incident with the Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher raises serious safety concerns, particularly regarding thermal hazards.
- Immediate Dangers: The primary and most immediate danger is thermal burns. Even a “slight” burn, as reported, can cause pain, redness, discomfort, and potentially blistering. Depending on the temperature reached and the duration of contact, burns could escalate in severity, requiring professional medical intervention.
- Long-Term Risks: While minor burns often heal without lasting effects, more severe or repeated burns could lead to scarring, changes in skin pigmentation, chronic pain, or increased susceptibility to infection if the skin barrier is compromised.
- Who Might Be Affected: This product is intended for recreational use, likely by children and families. Children are especially vulnerable to burn injuries due to their thinner, more sensitive skin and potentially slower reaction times or lack of awareness regarding immediate dangers. Any individual handling the toy when it overheats is at risk.
- Property Damage Potential: While the incident report focuses on personal injury, an extremely hot handle could theoretically cause minor damage to sensitive surfaces if the toy is set down while still in an overheated state. However, the predominant concern highlighted by this incident is personal injury.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own or have used the Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher should take immediate action to ensure their safety and prevent further incidents.
- Immediate Steps to Take: If you have experienced the handle of your Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher becoming hot or have suffered a burn, immediately discontinue use of the product. For burn injuries, cool the affected area with cool (not cold) running water for several minutes. If the burn is severe, blistering, or does not improve, seek immediate medical attention.
- How to Check if They Own the Affected Product: Verify if you own the “Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher” with Stock #70061, manufactured by Blip Toys LLC, which was reportedly purchased at Target.
- Prevention Measures: Until further investigation or an official safety recall is issued, consumers are advised to stop using the Zoom-O Flying Disc Launcher, Stock #70061. Do not attempt to modify or repair the product yourself.
- Reporting Procedures: It is crucial to report any incidents involving this product to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Your report helps identify dangerous products and can lead to recalls and improved safety standards.
