Q: When plug shark in to charge, it won't turn off and makes a loud noise. Why won't the shark turn off?

submitted by Fiona - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Fiona. Please make sure to let the shark dry completely before charging. Once completely dry, turn the Power switch to OFF position before charging. This should stop the sounds and allow your shark to charge. The Battat Team

Q: The remote is blinking red and the shark only works on automatic mode. Yes, it is in water. How do you get the remote to work with the shark if it's blinking red?

submitted by Jessica - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi Jessica. There is a switch on the underside of the shark that needs to be switched from the Automatic mode to the ON mode. Once you have changed the switch, turn off the remote, then turn it back on, place the shark in the water and hold down the remote buttons as described in the the instructions that came with the toy. Thank you. The Battat Team

    msquared - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These were SUCH a bummer! I bought 2 of these for my 2 kids (4 & 7) who really really love sharks. They wanted to pla with them in our little backyard blow up pool and the bath. 1 worked for about 20min and the other turned on, flapped twice and ceased to be a shark. It's too bad because when it did work the shark moved in a pretty cool way and the company has some neat & hard to find animal toys. Too bad though - these were a total flop.

    My son was so excited for this Shark toy! It was a huge let down. The shark didn’t work properly when trying to use the remote. And then try explaining to a child that the remote is not waterproof but the shark is. Complete garbage and waste of money.

    Not so much a review as a request for more information. My son received this as a gift and immediately lost the charging cable, I'm struggling to find out the details of the cable so I can buy a replacement, could someone please let me know where I can get one? I will upgrade the stars if I receive this information otherwise I will doom your product with my withering one star rating!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son really loves sharks so this toy was great for him. When we first used it, it worked well however it did break apart shortly after playing with it. I think the material should be more durable.

    I bought this before I read the reviews. I’m glad I did. Worked right out of the box. No issues whatsoever. As soon as I put it in the water it went swimming. It’s cute. Goes on its own a bit if you’re not using the remote. Tested it in the hot tub late at night after the kids went to bed. I think they are gonna love it.
