SHEIN Distribution Corporation Recalls Baby Rattle and Teether Toy Sets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violate Mandatory Small Parts Ban

The recalled remote-controlled cars violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain button cell and lithium-ion batteries in the remote control that can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death

The recalled products contain multiple openings where a child’s torso can fit through the opening, but a child’s head cannot, posing a risk of serious injury and death due to head and neck entrapment hazards. Additionally, the basketball nets on the recalled products with model number KT-CS17 can come unhooked from the rim, forming a loop large enough for a child’s head, posing entanglement and strangulation hazards.

The recalled magnetic building cubes contain magnets that can become loose if the cubes break or open, posing a magnet ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death.

The recalled finger lights violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain button cell batteries and the compartments that hold the batteries can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When button cell and coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
