Holosun Technologies Two Firearm Dot Sights Due to Battery Ingestion Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled Holosun Red and Gold Firearm Dot Sights violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the lithium coin battery can be easily accessed, posing an ingestion hazard. The products include a lithium coin battery which is not in child-resistant packaging, as required by Reese's Law. In addition, the products do not bear the required warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Button-cell battery ingestion can cause fatal internal burns.
