Hazard
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.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the Lite-Up Torches and Mini Laser Pointers, take them away from children and place them where children cannot access them. Consumers may contact MTC Trading to request a full refund. Consumers will need to email a photograph confirming disposal of the lite-up torches or mini laser pointers to mtcmans@gmail.com to receive the refund. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
