everything was fine until a few days ago when we smelled something ...
For Christmas my wife purchased this to put in our six-year-old daughter's room. Being used 2-3 nights a week under normal and safe circumstances, everything was fine until a few days ago when we smelled something burning. I eventually narrowed it down to the sound machine and upon picking it up, it was hot to the touch and had a burning plastic odor coming from it. I quickly removed the batteries and the heat dissipated somewhat. I waited about half an hour and put new batteries in it to see what would happen and the same thing occurred. It began to smoke slightly and the smell or burning plastic was overwhelming. Obviously, I removed the batteries and have not used it since. I am concerned that this could potentially happen with other units as well and as this was being used in a child's room, it is quite worrisome.
