What is the hazard with CT-ENERGY Lithium Coin Battery Chargers with Rechargeable 2032 Batteries?
CT-ENERGY Lithium Coin Battery Chargers with Rechargeable 2032 Batteries was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The recalled battery charger violates the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the charger has lithium coin batteries that can be accessed easily by children. In addition, the coin batteries provided with the battery charger are not in child-resistant packaging, and the packaging does not have the warnings as required by Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the charger and remove the batteries and place them in an area that children cannot access. Contact CT New Energy Technology for a full refund, Child-Resistant Safety Case, or replacement kit. The complimentary repair kits and replacement kits will be available after August 30, 2025. Consumers will be asked to submit photos of the batteries' destruction completely submerged in tap water to info@ct-energy.cn. Soaking the batteries in water for 24 hours discharges the battery. Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures. Sold at: Amazon.com and Walmart.com from March 2024 through May 2025 for about $17.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 1,100 units of CT-ENERGY Lithium Coin Battery Chargers with Rechargeable 2032 Batteries are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
