# Major Recall Alert: Zelda Light Up Sword Recalled Due to Button Battery Safety Concerns
If you’ve recently purchased the popular Zelda light up sword from EB Games in Australia, you may need to act fast. The product has been recalled as it does not meet the mandatory safety standards for products containing button/coin batteries. These batteries are not properly secured, making them accessible to young children, which poses a serious choking and ingestion hazard. Furthermore, the product fails to include required safety warnings. Here’s everything you need to know about this urgent recall.
## Why This Recall is Important
Button and coin batteries can be deadly if swallowed or inserted into the body, particularly for young children. These tiny batteries can cause severe internal burns or injuries—and in some cases, even fatalities—if they become lodged in the throat or digestive system.
Unfortunately, the Zelda light up sword was found to have inadequate battery security, allowing the button/coin batteries to be easily accessed by children. Additionally, the product does not display mandatory warning labels, leaving consumers unaware of the potential hazards.
This recall serves as a vital reminder to ensure all products in your household comply with safety regulations, especially those with small, dangerous components.
