Light-Up Children’s Toys Recalled Over Deadly Battery Hazard

Washington, D.C. - Light-up children’s toys sold by ABC Trading are being recalled after federal officials determined that children can easily access the button cell batteries, creating a risk of serious injury or death. The recall was announced Sept. 24, 2026.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the toys do not meet the mandatory federal safety standard for toys because their battery compartments are not secure enough to prevent access by children.

If swallowed, button cell and coin batteries can become lodged in a child’s body and cause severe internal chemical burns, serious injuries or death. The hazard is especially urgent because young children may be able to remove the batteries without tools or significant force.

The notice did not provide a specific retailer, sales location, product model, lot number or recalling firm contact information. Consumers who have the toys should immediately stop using them and contact ABC Trading for information about obtaining a refund or replacement.

Parents, caregivers and child-care providers should check light-up toys in their homes and facilities for accessible button cell or coin batteries. Anyone who believes a child has swallowed a battery should seek immediate medical attention or contact emergency services. Do not wait for symptoms to appear, as serious internal damage can occur quickly.
