The bats can separate during a swing.
Broken pieces can hit a bystander and cause injury.
Play TV Baseball is a video game that plugs directly into a television set, and simulates hitting a baseball. It contains an electronic home plate, ball and plastic bat. The user faces the television standing above the electronic home plate, which emits a infrared beam. When a simulated pitch is made on the television screen, the user swings the bat to hit the simulated ball. Radica USA has received seven reports of consumers, including children, being hit by pieces of the broken bat, resulting in a split lip, facial lacerations, a bump on the head and bruising.
