These light-up toys sold at discount stores since 2023 could put kids' health at risk — full list here

The toys were sold for about $1 each and can expose children to button batteries that may cause internal burns or death, regulators said.

  • The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 100,000 light-up toys for failing to meet safety standards regarding accessible button batteries.
  • Button cell batteries are easily accessible to children in these toys, posing a risk of internal chemical burns or death if swallowed.
  • Products include Assorted Colors Light, Halloween Wands, Halo Flower Headband, Devil Horns Headband, Polka Dot Bow Headband, Flying Disc, Lite-Up Maraca, Yo-Yos, and Cardpack Flashing Whistle Necklace from ZMC Group, sold at discount stores for roughly $1.
  • Consumers must immediately stop using these products and keep them away from children; those with recalled toys can contact ZMC Group for a full refund.
  • Owners must remove batteries, break components, mark them "RECALLED" with permanent marker, and submit a photo of the destroyed pieces to complete the recall, which has reported no injuries.
