This review is from: Freeplay L2Q1R1 Self Powered Lantern, Blue (Tools & Home Improvement)

We purchased one of these wind-up lights a few months ago at a local retailer. Recently, during a brief power outage, I grabbed the Freeplay flashlight and wound it up. Imagine my suprise when the spring control mechanism broke inside the flashlight and the thing spun up to a rate I considered dangerous! We put the light down and got away, just in case it flew apart. Using regular flashlights (with batteries) and looking through the clear case, we were able to see stripped gears and bands in places they shouldn't be - and clearly read the danger label inside the flashlight (no user serviceable parts).

Well, we returned the light and got our money back. We're 0 for 1 with Freeplay products. I don't think they'll get another chance at our house.
