Target Recalls Halloween LED Gel Clings Due to Choking and Battery Hazards

Target is recalling Halloween LED gel clings because they can separate and expose button batteries, posing choking and ingestion risks to children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (choking and button battery ingestion) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Target Corp. is recalling approximately 127,000 Halloween-themed LED gel clings sold in Target stores nationwide from August 2016 through September 2016 for about $1. The recalled products include six designs: green skeleton, pink skeleton, purple spider, purple and black cat, orange and black pumpkin, and green and black bat. The model number 234-25-0904 is printed on the packaging. These gel clings are intended for window use and contain two non-replaceable button cell batteries.

The recall is being issued because the gel clings can separate, exposing the inner decal and the LED/button battery compartment. This creates choking and button battery ingestion hazards for children. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should immediately remove the recalled gel clings from areas accessible to children. They can return the products to any Target store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Target at 800-440-0680 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT Monday through Sunday, or visit the product recalls page on Target's website or Facebook page.
