Raychy Children's Light Sneakers Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Coin Batteries; Imported by Carina and Rambo

What's being recalled

This recall involves Raychy Children's Light Sneakers Unisex. The sneakers are available in red, black, and blue, each featuring a distinctive spiderweb-patterned on top of the sneakers and soles that light up when walking. The shoes bear the "Fashion" label printed on the tongue.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled sneakers violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the lithium coin batteries 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.
