On FB someone said although the article says it's rechargeable and regular batteries it's actually only rechargeable. More research needed. But we've had ours 3 years with no issues.
Same here. I also heard the issue was with rechargeable batteries.
I don't know if mine is the 2 or 3 battery version. We've also had ours for 3 years with no problems, that is really scary though I will have to check mine when I get home to make sure it's the 2 battery one.
