Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using the light-up Nativity set toys, which are labeled as “Nativity Advent Calendar.” The Nativity set toys, which contain button cell batteries, violate the mandatory federal standard for toys because the compartment that holds the batteries can be easily accessed and opened by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children.
If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Shenzhenshiyufandianzishangwuyouxiangongsi, doing business as Shipeng Zhuo, of China, but the firm has not agreed to an acceptable recall or to offer a remedy to consumers.
The Nativity sets were sold online on Amazon from August 2024 through March 2025 for about $37. The toys may have also been sold on other websites or by other sellers. The sets are a Christmas theme light-up toy, which contains 25 pieces including various Nativity scene characters, animals, props and a light-up manger. The battery compartment of the manger contains three LR44 alkaline button cell batteries. On the front of the box, the product is labeled “Nativity Advent Calendar”. The product number “ST-012s” is on the bottom of the box.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Nativity set toys immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. The battery in the manger that comes with the set should be disposed of or recycled following local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous Nativity sets.

Related Recalls
The 3-in-1 products pose a suffocation risk because they were marketed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, in violation of the Infant Sleep Products Rule and Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the products fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under the high chair standard.
The recalled baby walkers violate the federal safety standard for infant walkers because they can fit through a standard doorway and fail to stop at the edge of a step as required, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to a fall hazard. In addition, the baby walkers’ brake pads contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban that are prohibited in children’s products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.
The recalled helmets do not comply with the impact requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) mandatory federal safety standard for bicycle helmets. The helmets can fail to protect the user in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury.
The recalled dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The iron-containing dietary supplement packages violate the federal standard for child-resistant packaging because the bottles and blister packs are not child-resistant, posing a risk of deadly poisoning, if the contents are swallowed by young children.
The recalled portable baby loungers violate the federal safety standards for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit to secure the infant; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit, posing a suffocation hazard; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped. The portable loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The highchairs pose a fall hazard and risk of serious injury or death to babies because the legs of the chair can detach from the frame if the screws connecting the legs are not properly tightened during assembly.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
