AliExpress-sold RGB LED strip lights are recalled because children can easily access the coin batteries inside, creating a serious ingestion hazard. Swallowed batteries can cause severe internal burns and death.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text identifies a risk of serious injury or death from ingestion of coin batteries and states that the product violates federal regulations (Reese's Law). Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard involves high-risk potential for severe harm to children, and the regulatory violation elevates this to Severe per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products with serious injury potential.

Plain-English summary

AliExpress is recalling LED Strip Lights (RGB-branded) that were sold on AliExpress.com from March 2024 through November 2024. The color-changing, dimmable lights measure about 0.4 inches long and were available in white, warm white, blue, ice blue, green, red, yellow, purple, and pink. The recalled units were distributed by Dongguan Changsheng Heng Electronic Commerce Co. Ltd., of China.

The lights violate federal safety regulations for consumer products with coin batteries because they allow easy access by children to the lithium coin batteries inside, creating an ingestion hazard. The products also lack required safety warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious internal injuries, chemical burns, and death.

No injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the recalled lights immediately and contact AliExpress for a full refund. Consumers should destroy the lights by cutting them in half and then dispose of them following local hazardous waste procedures. Purchasers must send a photo of the destroyed lights to [email protected] or reply to the recall email sent by AliExpress. AliExpress is contacting all known purchasers directly.
