Great Lakes Wholesale International Select Battery Packs Due to Battery Ingestion
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The button cell and lithium coin batteries are not in child-resistant packaging and do not bear the warning labels required under Reese's Law. If a child swallows button cell or coin batteries, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Button-cell battery ingestion can cause fatal internal burns.
