ABC Trading light-up glasses, crown and sparkle headbands, and ties were sold at ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles, other specialty stores nationwide, and online at abctradinginc.com. They were recalled because children can easily open the button cell battery compartments, and swallowed batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled children’s toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because they contain button cell batteries and the compartments that hold the batteries can be easily accessed by children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard to children. When button cell and coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Sold at

ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles, California and other specialty stores nationwide and online at abctradinginc.com from September 2016 through May 2026 for about $1.
