A recall was issued for 9,150 LED lights sold on Amazon because they may cause a severe injury risk.
According to a Jan. 29 recall notice, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said the LED lights violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with a button cell or coin batteries since the devices contain lithium coin batteries that could pose an ingestion hazard for children.
