Missry Associates Recalls Misco Sports Light-Up Racket Sets Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys

What's being recalled

This recall involves the Misco Sports Light-Up Racket Set, model MT2287. The set includes two black rackets, one ball and one shuttlecock. "MT2287" and "100125" are printed on the racket handle in white letters.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The racket sets violate the mandatory standard for toys because the screw on the racket used to secure the battery compartment does not remain attached when opened, and the button cell batteries in the shuttlecock can be easily accessed by children. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported

What CPSC says to do

Consumers should stop using the racket set immediately, take the shuttlecock away from children and contact Missry Associates for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to dispose of the racket set with the shuttlecock in the trash and send a photo of the set in the trash to toys@misco.us. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
