On May 29, 2008, Tradewinds International Enterprises Inc. (TWIE) recalled about 152,000 ?Sky Champion? Wireless Indoor Helicopters after receiving two reports of the helicopters catching fire. The rechargeable battery inside the helicopter can catch fire, posing a fire or burn hazard to consumers.

The code ?BH26047? is printed on the tail of the helicopter, and ?WIC 551777? and the UPC code 630990006005 are printed on the packaging.
