Pet Zone Laser Pointer & LED Ball Pet Toys |
| Description |
This recall involves Pet Zone-branded Laser Pointer & LED Ball pet toys, sold with six preinstalled button cell batteries. The laser pointer is white with blue paw prints and measures about 2.9 inches long. 'Danger' and 'Accession No. 2430278-000' is printed on a silver label located on the laser pointer tube. The motion-activated LED ball is clear and measures about 1.6 inches in diameter. The 'PET ZONE' logo and 'LASER POINTER & LED BALL' are printed on the front of the product packaging and 'Item #:15712EAM' on the back. |
| Problem |
The recalled pet toys violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries as required by Reese's Law because the LED-illuminated plastic sphere can break upon impact, making the button cell batteries easily accessible to children, posing an ingestion hazard. Swallowed batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death. |
| Distribution |
Sold exclusively at Menards stores nationwide and online for about $4. |
