What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Party Favors Lite-Up Torches and Mini Laser Pointers?
Party Favors Lite-Up Torches and Mini Laser Pointers was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. 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. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
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.
