The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled LED tumblers can break, making the button cell batteries accessible to children and posing choking and ingestion hazards. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

Lifetime Brands has received one report of a child gaining access to the tumbler's button cell battery and putting it in the mouth. No injuries have been reported.

What CPSC says to do

Refund

Consumers should stop using the recalled tumblers immediately, place them in an area that children cannot access and properly dispose of the battery. Contact Lifetime Brands for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to throw the piece with the LED light away and upload a photo of the product in the trash when completing a Product Recall Refund Form at https://www.builtny.com/pages/recall. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedure.
