Dresbe LED Christmas Headbands Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Button Cell Batteries

What's being recalled

This recall involves Dresbe LED Christmas Headbands. The headbands were sold as a two-pack of novelty headbands, one red headband with candy cane attachments and a green headband with a Christmas tree attachment, each containing three button cell batteries to power LED lights. The headbands have "HB-052" and "DRESBE LED Christmas Headband (2pc)" printed on labels located on the package.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled headbands violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the button cell batteries in the headbands can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Additionally, the packaging and product do not have the warnings required under Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
