Party Favors Lite-Up Torches and Laser Pointers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled lite-up torches contain button cell batteries in violation of the mandatory standard for toys and the recalled mini laser pointers contain button cell batteries in violation of the mandatory standard for consumer products because the button cell batteries can be accessed easily by children. Additionally, the laser pointers 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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Button-cell battery ingestion can cause fatal internal burns.
