Solve : Tablet I guess is considered a TOY to Walmart?

Answer»

Thinking they need to replace "TOY" with another word if they are going to use a general choking hazard warning. Such as "ITEM" or even better "PRODUCT".

I dont really consider a computer or tablet a TOY.

Additionally there are some products that could be a choking hazard that if this general choking hazard statement was used always with TOY as their generic description of unsafe, there could be some bad unintentional adult humor assigned to products to those with an eye to detail in picking up on the issue or error in the use of the word TOY and mind in gutter.

** I was digging deeper in the description looking for if the keyboard required a 2032 battery or if it was recharged somehow. I dont SEE a port for the keyboard to attach electronically to the tablet so I guess its bluetooth and if bluetooth then it either needs a battery or it has to get charged somewhere but no info on port locations. Additionally I wonder what the range of the bluetooth is for this keyboard and if its a secure bluetooth connection or wide open for someone to sniff out the keystrokes over bluetooth.

Was looking into this as a possible present for my 12 yr old daughter, then thought to myself maybe I will get one for myself too, but then i said WAIT ! Is this thing secure or would my bluetooth keystrokes in say an airport be right out in the open for a hacker sniffing bluetooth to capture, which then makes me think..... Maybe I dont want Bluetooth keyboard communications.

I have a earlier model of the RCA tablet and I do not find it has anything an infant would choke on.

I have got a Voyager PRO with keyboard case few months back and it worked for the first month and then it quit. It wouldn't. It acts like it takes to charge and then it's not taking a charge. It won't turn on. You can't reset it and nothing. And when you contact RCA they want you to pay to send it to him when it was under warranty and for you to make sure that it was in bubble wrapped in a certain type of box and everything. Why aren't they sending the stuff if it's under warranty. They should be paying for whatever it needs to get there to fix it or replace it and send it back. This isn't right.

Bought 2 RCA Voyager tablets for Christmas last year. Having charging issues with both. Went to Walmart and was informed that the particular model I bought has been discontinued due to a charging problem... Was told to call RCA. Have not been able to speak with anyone in customer service. Am probably out $$'s and most likely will not get product replacement.

This is the second time in 3 years that my son has received this same tablet as a gift. The first one we got rid of because it quit charging. At the time I thought it was something my son did wrong and somehow messed up the tablet. Just got another for his birthday this week. He was able to play on it for two days and I went to plug it in to charge and noticed that it kept popping back and forth between charging to saying please connect to charger and on top of that it was making weird popping noises and had lines running all over the screen as long as the tablet was plugged into the charger... Never again will I buy a product from this company... Wish my mother's husband would have read these reviews before buying this for my son. He is so disappointed... Two days of use and now all these problems... Would be the interested in learning more about your class action suit Justin from California...

RCA Tablet RCT6203W46 - I had purchased this tablet last year. Short time after that the keyboard just stopped working and now the WIFI won't connect at all. I did a factory reset and that did nothing but erase all my data.

Purchased 2 tablets, after 6 months one would not charge. I was told to send it in for service. I got it back 6 weeks later and it lasted 3 months then would not start up. A replacement was sent to me and I returned the non working one. After 5 months, the replacement stopped working and again was sent a replacement. Upon receiving this one, the charger stopped working the next day and now it's been 7 months and the tablet rest itself and everything on it was lost. Signed back on and all services are getting errors. Did a factory reset and now tablet will not start. These tablets are such garbage that Wal-Mart doesn't even carry them anymore and RCA should not even make them because it's obvious they don't know what they're doing.

I will take exception to the above.
RCA does know what they are doing.
