ZMC Group Expands Recall of Light-Up Children’s Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys
Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard
The recalled light-up toys violate the mandatory safety standard for children’s toys because the toys contain button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
What parents need to know
This recall covers ZMC Group battery-operated light-up toys, including a Mexican flag theme foam stick, a Unicorn headband, assorted colors and transparent jelly rings, and heart shaped balloon flowers. These items violate the mandatory safety standard for children’s toys because they contain button cell batteries that children can easily access.
Button cell or coin batteries pose a serious danger if swallowed. Ingestion can cause internal chemical burns and can be fatal. Because the batteries in these toys are easily accessible, this is a real risk for any child who plays with them.
Parents should stop using these toys right away and keep them away from children. Contact ZMC Group for a full refund. As part of the remedy process, you will be asked to remove the batteries, write “RECALLED” or a large “X” on the product with a permanent marker, and send a photo to the address given in the official recall notice.
When disposing of the batteries themselves, remember that button cell batteries are hazardous and should be disposed of or recycled according to your local hazardous waste procedures.
