Nearly 180,000 Children’s Light Toys Recalled over Battery Ingestion Risk
The toys violate federal safety standards because children can reach button-cell batteries, and no injuries have been reported, the CPSC said.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that ZMC Group expanded a recall of battery-powered, light-up toys to 245,124 items, including an initial 124,560 units that violated mandatory safety standards for children's toys.
- Regulators warn that these toys contain three button-cell batteries children can easily access; if swallowed, the batteries pose severe risks including internal chemical burns or death, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Sold on Amazon from March 2015 through July 2026, California Cade Electronic Finger Lights cost between $5 and $16, with packages labeled "California Cade Electronic" and "Finger Flashlights" on the front.
- Consumers must immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Cade California Electronic for a refund; to qualify, owners must mark toys "RECALLED" or draw a large "X" before emailing a disposal photo.
- Similar hazards include recalled items sold at Diva at Heart in California, Texas, Oregon, Mississippi, and Arizona; federal agencies continue monitoring various light-up sticks and jelly rings sold through July 2026.
