Little Passports Recalls Science Kits Due to Burn Hazard

Untitled-4Little Passports has issued a recall for Science Expeditions Northern Lights Science Kits. The battery packs included in the science kits can overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

This recall involves the Science Expeditions Northern Lights science kits with “Make an Electromagnet” and “Aurora in a Box” experiments that use battery packs. The kits were sent to Little Passports subscribers in February 2017. The “Magnet Lab” experiment and comic book included in the Science Expeditions Northern Lights kit do not use battery packs and can still be used.

There have been seven reports of the battery packs overheating.
