Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using the Petgravity Smart Interactive Car Toys, which are advertised as cat toys. The cat toys violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries because the remote control for the cat toy includes a lithium coin battery which can be easily accessed by children, posing an ingestion hazard. In addition, the products and their packaging do not bear the required warnings.
Reese’s Law and CPSC’s implementing regulations establish performance and warning label requirements for consumer products with button cell or coin batteries to protect children from life threatening ingestion. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns or death.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, LYsolcusnee Guangzhoulinlikejiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Sanchio Store and LYsolcusnee. Sanchio Store has not agreed to offer a remedy to consumers.
The cat toys were sold on Amazon.com from March 2024 through November 2024 for between $12 and $17. The cat toys are sold in orange and blue. “PETGRAVITY Smart Interactive Car Toy” is printed on the top of the packaging. The products include an automatic car toy, remote control, feather accessory, tail rod, charging cable and a preinstalled CR2032 lithium battery in the remote control. These products may have also been sold by other sellers.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the cat toys immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. When disposing of or recycling button cell or coin batteries, do so in a manner that follows local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous cat toys.

Related Recalls
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 recalled high chairs pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it. In addition, the child restraint system can fail, posing a fall hazard. These are violations of the federal standards for high chairs.
The toy sets contain small balls that violate regulations for toys intended for children under three years of age because they are a choking hazard and can cause serious injury or death.
The recalled portable hook-on chair poses a deadly fall hazard because the crotch restraint can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, which is a violation of the federal standard for portable hook-on chairs.
The recalled portable bassinets violate the federal safety standard for Infant Sleep Products because the sides are too low to contain the infant and the portable bassinets do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants.
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.
