The main blade grips and main rotor blades can release from the main rotor head, posing an impact and laceration hazard.
Horizon Hobby is recalling Blade mCP X model helicopters because their main blade grips can detach, causing potential impacts and lacerations. This hazard affects both indoor and outdoor use, so owners should stop using the product until they get a replacement.
The main blade grips can release from the main rotor head during use, which may cause the blades to fly off and hit people or objects. This poses a risk of impact injuries and lacerations, especially if the helicopter is not securely attached.
Owners of Blade mCP X Bind-N-Fly and Ready to Fly helicopters with model numbers BLH3580 or BLH3500 are affected. Children and hobbyists using the helicopters are most at risk due to the potential for blade detachment.
Check for the model name "Blade mCP X" printed on both sides of the red and blue canopy. The product box will have model numbers like BLH3580 or BLH3500 on the underside.
