The Australian Consumer and Competitor Commission (ACCC) is urging any Aussies who personal Yipose Trading Company’s ‘Light Up Wand’ – in snowflake, butterfly and star – to instantly cease utilizing the product and return it to the place of buy.
“The products do not comply with the mandatory safety standard for products containing button/coin batteries,” the ACCC stated.
“The battery compartment does not contain a captive screw designed to ensure the compartment is resistant to being opened by children.
“A battery compartment that doesn’t comprise a captive screw can lead to the screw being misplaced. When a battery compartment shouldn’t be adequately secured, a number of button batteries could also be simply accessible.”
If young children gain access to button batteries and ingest them, they are likely to “endure extreme inside burn accidents”, which can result in serious injury or even death, the ACCC said.
Button batteries are also a dangerous choking hazard to young children.
