The hazard
The recalled bicycle lights violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because they contain button cell batteries that can be accessed easily by children. The agency said when swallowed, these batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
