Frequently asked questions
How do I find the lot number on the product?
The recall notice does not specify lot numbers for the LiCB lithium coin batteries. The recall applies to these batteries sold on Amazon that lack child-resistant packaging and required warning labels under Reese's Law. Check your product packaging—if the coin batteries are not in child-resistant packaging and don't have proper warning labels about ingestion hazards, they're part of this recall regardless of lot number.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
This recall is serious. Swallowed coin batteries can cause life-threatening injuries, including internal chemical burns and death, especially in young children. The LiCB batteries violate federal safety law because they lack child-resistant packaging and required warnings. If you have these batteries, immediately store them out of children's reach and follow the recall instructions. Contact your doctor if you suspect a child has swallowed a battery.
How do I get a refund for this recall?
The recall notice does not provide specific refund instructions for the LiCB lithium coin batteries. Since these were sold on Amazon, contact Amazon customer service directly with your order information to request a refund or return. You can also try contacting LiCB (Guangzhou Lichengbei Battery Technology Co.) for remedy options. Check the official CPSC recall notice for any updated contact information or refund procedures.
Is this brand safe to buy now?
There's no information about whether LiCB has corrected the safety violations. The recalled batteries violated Reese's Law by lacking child-resistant packaging and required warning labels. Before purchasing any LiCB coin batteries, verify they come in proper child-resistant packaging with appropriate warnings about ingestion hazards. You may want to consider other brands with established safety compliance records for coin batteries until LiCB demonstrates corrective action.
Is this recall real? How do I verify it?
Yes, this recall is real. It was issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the official federal agency for product safety recalls. To verify, visit the CPSC website at cpsc.gov and search for "LiCB lithium coin batteries" or check Amazon's recall notices. The recall involves LiCB-branded coin batteries sold on Amazon that violate federal child-safety packaging requirements under Reese's Law.
