I know they were pulled off the S@H site after a short time. I just got this
recall email from LEGO. I don't see any other posts about it here.

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
Dear LEGO Consumer
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the LEGO Group
is voluntarily recalling the 8879 Power Functions IR Speed Remote Control unit,
which poses a thermal burn hazard to users when batteries inside overheat. The
remote control unit was sold separately as item #8879 or was included in K8882
Power Functions Kit or the K10194 Emerald Night Collection.
We are writing to you because our records indicate that you purchased one of
these items. LEGO Systems has found that some of the remote control units (the
kind that was included in your set) are not performing correctly. If your remote
is one of the affected you would have noticed that it becomes hot to the touch
in the first 5 to 10 minutes of initial operation. If you did not experience
this situation when you first loaded batteries into the remote then your remote
is not affected. If your remote is affected, we ask that you return it to us in
exchange for a new remote control unit. Simply call 1-800-718-1858 between the
hours of Monday-Friday 8am-10pm ET and Saturday-Sunday 10pm-6pm ET (if outside
the US/Canada dial +1-860-763-3211) and we will give you instructions on how to
return the unit and also answer any questions that you might have.
Thank you for your time and attention to this, and we apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause. We wish your family many more happy and creative
hours of building fun with LEGO brand products.
Yours sincerely
