Release Date: April DAY, 2026
Release Number: 26-DRAFT V2 4-6-26
JC Sales Recalls Lil' Buddies Pet Laser Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion Hazard;
Violate Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Button Cell Batteries
Recall Summary
Name of Product: Lil' Buddies Pet Laser Toy
Hazard: The recalled pet toys violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the battery compartment is not secure, making the button cell batteries easily accessible to children, posing a deadly ingestion hazard. In addition, the button batteries provided with the pet toys 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.
Remedy: Refund
Consumers should stop using the recalled pet toys immediately and contact JC Sales for a full refund. Customers will be asked to email a photograph of the disposed items to Recall@jcsales.net.
Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
Consumer Contact: JC Sales toll free at 866-540-3334 and leave a voicemail. Voicemails are processed from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email at Recall@jcsales.net or online at https://www.jcsalesweb.com/ and click the “Recall” button on website for more information.
