Greater Goods Recalls Digital Kitchen Scales Due to Ingestion Hazard; Violations...
Published: January 30, 2025Recall ID: 25111Category: generalCountry: US
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The recalled digital kitchen scales violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries, because the scale has a lithium coin battery that can be easily accessed by children, and a spare coin battery provided with the product not in child resistant packaging, as required by Reese's Law. These violations pose an ingestion hazard. The recalled scales also do not have the required warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
