The hazard: Button battery hazard

Accessible button batteries prompted this notice. The danger is not the size of the cell but the current it still carries after the toy has stopped working.

What the notice says: The recalled bicycle lights violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because they contain button cell batteries that can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Additionally, the bicycle lights do not have the warnings required under Reese's Law. When button cell or 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

Accessible button batteries prompted this notice. The danger is not the size of the cell but the current it still carries after the toy has stopped working.

  1. Take the product away from children now, before reading the rest of this page.
  2. Store loose coin cells, new and used, out of reach and out of sight, and dispose of spent ones the same day.
  3. Follow the company’s remedy for the product itself and keep the packaging until the claim is settled.
  4. If a battery is missing from the product, treat that as a possible ingestion and go to an emergency department.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycle lights immediately and contact MalkerDirect for a full refund. Consumers should throw the bicycle lights away and send a photo of the product in the trash to [email protected]. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
