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 delivery boxes violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries because they contain a lithium coin battery that can be easily accessed by children, posing an ingestion hazard. The packaging also does not bear the required warning labels for products containing such batteries as required by Reese's Law. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including 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.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Autobrush's Sonic Pro Kids toothbrush boxes used as packaging for delivering children's toothbrushes. The electric toothbrushes consist of a u-shaped mouthpiece and a plastic base with an animal's face that matches the model's name: Unity the Unicorn, Lenni the Lion, Harley the Hippo and Danny the Dino. The light-up, musical toothbrushes have a built-in timer and three brush settings and were sold with a USB cable, a magnetic plug and decoration stickers inside a cardboard delivery box. The delivery box's white tray has a speaker with a coin cell battery on the underside. Additionally, "autobrush KIDS," the toothbrush's model name and an animal image that corresponds to the model are printed on the box.

What to do about Button battery

Autobrush — 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. Do not tape the compartment shut and carry on — the remedy on this page exists because that does not hold.
  3. Store loose coin cells, new and used, out of reach and out of sight, and dispose of spent ones the same day.
  4. Follow the company’s remedy for the product itself and keep the packaging until the claim is settled.

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.
  • 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.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • 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.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the boxes for the toothbrushes immediately, take them away from children and contact Autobrush for a $5 refund in the form of store credit. Consumers will be asked to write "Recalled" with permanent marker on the box and send a photo of the marked box to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the box. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

Company contact: Autobrush toll-free at 844-656-3217 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at [email protected], or online at tryautobrush.com/pages/recall or www.tryautobrush.com and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page for more information.
