Hazard Information

The recalled battery charger violates the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the charger has lithium coin batteries that can be accessed easily by children. In addition, the coin batteries provided with the battery charger 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.

Contact CT New Energy Technology for a full refund, Child-Resistant Safety Case, or replacement kit. The complimentary repair kits and replacement kits will be available after August 30, 2025. Consumers will be asked to submit photos of the batteries' destruction completely submerged in tap water to info@ct-energy.cn. Soaking the batteries in water for 24 hours discharges the battery.
