The Hazard
INGESTION HAZARD, CHEMICAL BURN
LiCB is recalling their CR2032 lithium coin batteries because they aren’t in child-resistant packaging. If a child swallows one of these batteries, it can cause serious internal burns, injuries, or even death. These batteries violate federal safety standards (Reese’s Law) for coin battery packaging and labeling.
About 94,000 units are affected. No injuries have been reported to date.
Technical Breakdown
The lithium coin batteries are small and silver, making them easily accessible to children. The lack of child-resistant packaging means kids can easily open the battery packs and ingest the batteries. Once swallowed, the battery can react with saliva and other bodily fluids, causing a chemical reaction that leads to severe internal burns in as little as two hours. These burns can cause long-term health problems and, in some cases, death.
