Lithium Coin Batteries
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled coin batteries are not in child-resistant packaging and do not bear the warning labels 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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Button-cell battery ingestion can cause fatal internal burns.
