Hobby Lobby Recalls Easter and July 4th Light-Up Spinner Toys

Hobby Lobby is recalling Easter and July 4th-themed light-up spinner toys because the battery cover can detach, exposing coin cell batteries that pose choking and ingestion hazards to young 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 choking and ingestion hazard with one reported incident of battery ingestion by a young child, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported as severe or fatal.

Plain-English summary

Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is recalling Easter and July 4th-themed light-up spinner toys due to choking and ingestion hazards. The recall involves approximately 43,400 units of battery-powered toys sold in two themes: Easter (blue with a pink bunny or yellow with a chicken) and July 4th (red with white stars on a blue dome). The spinners are powered by three LR44 coin cell batteries and feature item numbers 9130033 or 9130082 printed on the handle.

The hazard exists because the battery cover can detach, exposing the small coin cell batteries to young children. Hobby Lobby has received one report of a 14-month-old child who ingested a battery; an x-ray was conducted, and the battery passed through the child's system.

The toys were sold at Hobby Lobby and Mardel stores nationwide from February 2017 to April 2017 for about $5. Consumers should immediately take the recalled spinners away from children and return them to the nearest Hobby Lobby or Mardel store. Consumers with a receipt will receive a full refund, while those without a receipt will receive store credit. For more information, contact Hobby Lobby Stores at 800-326-7931 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.hobbylobby.com and click on the Recall tab.
