Fisher-Price to Recall Toy: The East Aurora, N.Y.-based company said it will recall about 100,000 Baseball Training Center toys for repairs to the battery compartments, which could explode. Fisher-Price Inc., one of the nation’s largest toy manufacturers, said it is aware of five incidents in which batteries used in its No. 2875 Baseball Training Center overheated and exploded. Consumers who own the toy should turn it off and not use it until Fisher-Price sends a part for the battery compartment to prevent overheating, the company said. Consumers should call Fisher-Price consumer affairs at (800) 355-8882 to request a free repair kit. The toy should not be returned to retailers.
