Petmate Pet Zone Pet Toys
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled pet toys violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries as required by Reese's Law because the LED-illuminated plastic sphere can break upon impact, making the button cell batteries easily accessible to children, posing an ingestion hazard. Swallowed 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.
