Recall Insight

This recall's affected scope, documented in the Recall Profile below, stays within a single-region or limited-distribution footprint. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. Consumers holding this product should act on the agency's documented remedy above rather than relying on general guidance.

Within the same product category the archive holds 6 closely related recalls - clustering in a narrow category often points to a systemic quality-control or supplier issue rather than a one-off defect. Always verify the recall number against the official agency record before acting.

Product description

This recall involves children's battery-powered, light-up spinner toys sold in two themes: Easter and July 4th.

The spinners are powered by three LR44 coin cell batteries.

Reason for recall

The battery cover can detach and expose the small coin cell batteries, posing choking and ingestion hazards to young children.
