The recall involves recharging stations that come with two rechargeable batteries, an AC adapter, and a recharging base. The recharging base is white with a green indicator light on the bottom. The recharging station for Didj was sold as item number 30676, which is printed on the box and on the bottom of the recharging base. Immediately stop using the recharging base and the two rechargeable batteries and contact LeapFrog for a full refund. Consumers can continue using the AC adapter connected directly to the Didj handheld. LeapFrog
