The hazard: Button battery hazard

The hazard in this recall is a button or coin-cell battery a child can reach, and it is one of the few product hazards where serious injury happens in hours rather than days.

What the notice says: The recalled children’s toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain button cell batteries and the compartments that hold the batteries can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When button cell and coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Why it matters: The battery compartment can be opened by a child, or the cell can work loose. A swallowed coin-cell battery generates an alkaline burn where it lodges and can damage the oesophagus within a couple of hours — while the child still looks well.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

A swallowed button battery is an emergency. Go straight to an emergency department; do not induce vomiting and do not give food or drink unless staff tell you to. The National Battery Ingestion Hotline on 800-498-8666 takes calls around the clock. Early signs can be as vague as drooling, refusing food, coughing, gagging or chest pain, and a child who swallowed one unobserved may show nothing at all at first.

What to do about Button battery

ABC Trading — The hazard in this recall is a button or coin-cell battery a child can reach, and it is one of the few product hazards where serious injury happens in hours rather than days.

  1. Take the product away from children now, before reading the rest of this page.
  2. Follow the company’s remedy for the product itself and keep the packaging until the claim is settled.
  3. If a battery is missing from the product, treat that as a possible ingestion and go to an emergency department.
  4. Do not tape the compartment shut and carry on — the remedy on this page exists because that does not hold.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled light-up toys immediately and contact ABC Trading for a refund. Consumers will be asked to email [email protected] a photograph showing the product being disposed of in the trash. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous.
