Who Is at Risk?
Young children — especially infants and toddlers — are most at risk due to:
- Curiosity about small objects
- Tendency to put objects in their mouth
- Higher chance of swallowing batteries
Button battery ingestion is a medical emergency because the battery can react with saliva and create a current that burns tissue rapidly.
If you suspect a child may have swallowed a battery, contact poison control immediately or go to the emergency room.
What You Should Do Now
If you have these balloon lights:
- Take them away from children right now.
- Check the battery compartment — if batteries are accessible, stop use.
- Dispose of the lights safely.
- Take a photo of the product or receipt.
- Contact Amazon (if sold through them) for a refund.
- Email photos to the recall contact (see below).
Do NOT let children play with these, even under supervision.
Consumer Contact
For refund and additional information:
- Contact Amazon customer service if purchased there.
- Follow guidance from the recall link above.
If there’s a manufacturer contact listed in the recall, use that first.
Why Button Cell Battery Recalls Are Serious
Button cell batteries are very different from AA or AAA batteries:
- Smaller size = easier to swallow
- Higher voltage = faster tissue damage
- Can lodge in the esophagus within seconds
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, ingestion of button batteries can cause severe injury or death in as little as 2 hours.
How to Tell If You Have the Recalled Product
Ask:
✔ Did I buy balloon LED lights online?
✔ Are they small and battery-powered?
✔ Does the battery pull out easily?
If the answer is yes to all three — remove and dispose of it.
