EEMB lithium coin battery packs in white pouches were sold on Amazon.com. They were recalled because the pouches are not child-resistant as required under Reese's Law, and swallowed coin batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the lithium batteries immediately, place them in an area that children cannot access and contact EEMB USA to receive a full refund. Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
