Bamamon LED Projecting Finger Light Toys recall: Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion
Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys


The hazard: Button battery hazard
This product was recalled because its battery compartment does not stay shut. A coin cell lodged in a child’s throat causes a chemical burn, not a choking incident, and the two need very different responses.
What the notice says: None reported.
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.

How the remedy works
CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.
- A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
- Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
- Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.
- A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.
