Units: About 1,100
This recall involves CT-ENERGY Lithium Coin Battery Chargers with model number "nc-02". The product includes the charger, four rechargeable 2032 lithium-ion batteries, and a USB cable. The brand name "CT-ENERGY" is on the front of the product and the model number "nc-02" is printed on the back.
The problem, in CPSC's words
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.
