Approximately 43,674 light-up children's toys are being recalled by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) due to a button battery ingestion risk. The toys include glasses, crown headbands, sparkle headbands and light-up ties that were sold for around $1 from September 2016 to May 2026 at ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles, California, as well as specialty stores across the US and online at abctradinginc.com.
The toys violate a mandatory federal safety standard for button or coin batteries due to compartments that can be opened by children without a tool. Swallowing a button battery can cause severe internal burns and other life-threatening injuries, even resulting in death in some cases. The recalled toys come in a large clear plastic bag with a white label indicating the product codes - 6502 for light-up ties, HD-10 for headbands, and L-508 for glasses.
Each toy is individually packaged in clear plastic with a white label reading "MADE IN CHINA, Importer: ABC TRADING, INC." Consumers are advised to stop allowing children to use the recalled toys, contact ABC Trading for a refund, and follow local hazardous-waste protocols when disposing of the batteries. No incidents or injuries have been reported so far.
The recall underscores the dangers of button and coin batteries in children's products, urging parents and caregivers to check recalled items carefully and keep loose batteries out of reach.
