Kitosun Submersible LED Lights Recalled Over Battery Ingestion Hazard
Product Recalls - February 11, 2026
Recall Issued for Kitosun Submersible LED Lights Over Violations of Mandatory Safety Standards
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (February 11, 2026) – A recall has been issued for the Kitosun Submersible LED Lights because the devices can pose a serious injury risk to children.
The recall was issued on February 5, 2026. Roughly 8100 units were sold prior to the recall.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Kitosun Submersible LED Lights violate mandatory safety standards. In particular, they contain small button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children.
This creates the risk that a child may swallow these batteries and be seriously injured or killed in the process. Moreover, the LED lights on the device do not have any type of warnings on them, which is required by Reese’s Law.
Liability for Injuries Caused by Button Cell Batteries
Companies that create consumer products have a legal obligation to ensure that those products are reasonably safe. They must take into consideration all of the ways that a product could be used and even potentially misused. In particular, it is well known that children are at risk of swallowing small parts from consumer products. This is why it is so important that all button cell batteries are not easily accessible by children. There are several ways that a product may be defective.
- A product may have designed defects that are inherent to the way that it is created.
- A product may have manufacturing defects if something went wrong during the construction or production of the item.
- A product may have marketing defects if it lacks adequate instructions or fails to warn consumers about latent dangers.
In general, product liability claims are typically considered a strict liability offense. Defendants will typically be liable for a plaintiff’s injuries if the plaintiff is able to prove that the product is defective. It does not matter whether or not the defendant exercised a great deal of care to avoid causing harm. When determining whether or not any particular product is defective, courts will rely on certain tests. For example, it matters if evidence shows the utility of a product outweighs its risk.
Steps to Take After Being Injured by Consumer Products
Many children are harmed every year in accidents involving devices with button cell batteries. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, “Over 70 children have died, and tens of thousands have found themselves in emergency rooms, after swallowing button batteries. Congress and President Biden—through Reese’s Law (August 16, 2022)—directed CPSC to fix this problem, and they told us to act quickly. We did.” Certain action should be taken after any injury involving button cell batteries.
- Parents should seek medical treatment for their child as early as possible.
- All medical records related to the treatment should be collected.
- The product that caused the injury should be stored in a secure location.
- Parents should contact an experienced liability attorney.
It can be hard to know what to do if your child has been injured by a consumer product. Many parents blame themselves for these incidents. But the fact of the matter is that many of these incidents are due to violations of safety standards. The parents of any child injured by faulty consumer products are able to seek some measure of accountability through a personal injury claim.
