Description:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Recolorable Light-Up Ghost Statues. The ghost statues violate the mandatory federal standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. The ghost statues contain button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. In addition, the products do not bear the warning labels required under Reese’s Law

Reese’s Law and CPSC mandatory implementing standards 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.

The battery compartment on the bottom of the ghost statue contains three LR44 Alkaline button cell batteries.

These products were manufactured in China.
