A2batt Recalls EEMB Lithium Coin Battery Chargers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Coin Batteries
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled battery chargers violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries, because the charger has lithium coin batteries that can be accessed easily by children. In addition, the coin batteries provided with the battery charger are not in child-resistant packaging, and the packaging does not have the warnings, as required by Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
What parents need to know
This recall involves lithium coin battery chargers that come with rechargeable coin batteries and a USB cable, marketed under the EEMB brand. These chargers were sold with extra coin batteries included for use with the charging unit.
The chargers are being recalled because the coin batteries inside can be accessed too easily by children, and the batteries that come with the product are not packaged in a child-resistant way or labeled with the required safety warnings. If a child manages to swallow a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious internal chemical burns and other severe injuries, and in some cases death. The danger comes from how easily a curious child could get to the batteries, not from any issue with normal charger use by adults.
Parents and caregivers who have this charger should stop using it right away and take the batteries out, storing them somewhere children cannot reach. From there, contact A2batt to arrange a full refund; as part of that process, you will be asked to write "RECALL" on the charger. If any batteries are still in their original packaging, they should be disposed of according to your local hazardous waste guidelines, and a photo of that disposal should be sent to A2batt as instructed.
Because button cell and coin batteries are hazardous on their own, any batteries from this product—whether used or unused—should be recycled or thrown away through your local hazardous waste program rather than regular trash.
