Attention air traffic control, there's been a helicopter recall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and RadioShack have announced a voluntary recall of Danbar Knight Hawk toy helicopters.

The recall comes after a store demo toy caught fire while it was charging. (No injuries or property damage have been reported.) Turns out, the battery housing can overheat while charging, posing a fire hazard.

The helicopter can be identified by model number 006047 marked on the back of the controller and the Knight Hawk 3D logo on the front of the controller.

Consumers should immediately take the helicopters away from children and return the toy to the nearest RadioShack store for a full refund. You can contact RadioShack at 800-843-7422 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST on weekdays, or visit the firm's Web site at radioshack.com.
