Holosun Red Dot and Gold Dot firearm sights were sold at Primary Arms, EuroOptic, MidwayUSA, Palmetto State Armory and other stores, and online at opticsplanet.com. They were recalled because the coin battery can be easily accessed, the included battery is not in child-resistant packaging, and required warnings are missing, posing an ingestion hazard.

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled Holosun Red and Gold Firearm Dot Sights violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the lithium coin battery can be easily accessed, posing an ingestion hazard. The products include a lithium coin battery which is not in child-resistant packaging, as required by Reese's Law. In addition, the products do not bear the required warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.

Sold at
