Great Lakes Select Button Cell Batteries Recalled: About 32,600 Packs Pulled Over Child-Resistant Packaging Failure; CPSC Warns Swallowing Can Cause Internal Burns
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of about 32,600 packs of Great Lakes Select button cell batteries (CR2032 lithium coin batteries) because the packaging is not child-resistant. The product is Item 00263. The CPSC said children who swallow button batteries can suffer internal burns within hours and, in severe cases, die.
The recalled product is Great Lakes Select CR2032 lithium coin batteries, sold in 3-packs, Item 00263, at stores nationwide from December 2024 to September 2025. The CPSC said the blister packaging does not meet child-resistant packaging standards, allowing children to open it easily and remove the batteries. Consumers should immediately store the batteries out of children's reach and contact Great Lakes Select for a free replacement package that meets the standard; children who have swallowed a battery should seek emergency medical care.
The CPSC warned that button battery ingestion is a major child home-safety hazard: once lodged in the esophagus, electrolytes in saliva can trigger an electrical reaction that burns esophageal tissue within hours. Parents should store button batteries in high places out of children's reach and regularly check household products containing button batteries, such as remote controls and toys.
