The Hazard
CHOKING/INGESTION
The Sanlebi Pet Vet Playset is being recalled because the button cell batteries in the nail grinder and otoscope toys can be easily removed by children. These batteries pose a serious risk of choking, ingestion, and internal burns if swallowed. This violates safety standards for toys, putting children at risk of serious injury or even death.
About 4,650 units affected, no injuries reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recall was initiated because the toy’s design allows children easy access to the small button cell batteries inside the nail grinder and otoscope. These batteries are extremely dangerous if swallowed. When a child swallows a button battery, it can cause chemical burns in the esophagus and other internal injuries. These burns can happen very quickly, leading to serious long-term health problems or even death.
This toy set fails to meet mandatory safety standards designed to prevent children from accessing batteries in toys. The lack of secure battery compartments means the product poses an unacceptable risk to children. There have been no reported injuries, but the potential for harm is significant, prompting this urgent recall to prevent future incidents.
