## Why This Recall is Important
Button batteries are a known hazard for children. When swallowed or inserted into the body, these batteries can cause severe injuries, including chemical burns or even fatalities within hours. Tragically, incidents involving these tiny but potentially deadly batteries are not uncommon.
The SHEIN small portable LED flashlight failed to meet mandatory safety standards in the following ways:
- **Unsecured batteries**: The flashlight’s battery cover isn’t properly secured, allowing children to access the button/coin battery.
- **Loose screws**: The screws on the battery compartment can become dislodged or lost when replacing the battery.
- **Lack of warnings**: The product does not include proper safety warnings or instructions about the dangers of button batteries, how to prevent risks, or what to do in the event of accidental ingestion.
These failures put young children at significant risk, and as such, it is crucial for all affected consumers to stop using the product immediately.
