NICREW Submersible RGB LED Lights Recalled for Coin Battery Ingestion Hazard

NICREW 15" Submersible RGB LED Lights with remote controls are recalled because the remote's lithium coin battery can be easily accessed by children, creating a serious ingestion hazard that can cause 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 explicitly states risk of "serious injury or death" from ingestion of a coin battery, and the hazard involves a high-risk mechanism (internal chemical burns from swallowed batteries). Although no illnesses have been reported, the severity label and language used in the official recall title and hazard description meet the Severe criterion for risk-of-harm products where significant injury or death is possible.

Plain-English summary

NICREW Submersible RGB LED Lights (model N21743), sold as 15-inch black tubes with black remote controls containing CR2032 lithium coin batteries, are being recalled. The remote control's battery compartment does not adequately restrict access by children, and the products lack required warning labels, violating federal regulations for consumer products with coin batteries.

When coin or button cell batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious internal chemical burns and death. The hazard is particularly acute because young children can access and ingest the battery from the remote control.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and remove the battery from the remote control, storing it in an area children cannot access.

Consumers must provide their Amazon order number and a photo of the destroyed remote to obtain the replacement. Approximately 1,150 units were sold online through Amazon from May 2024 through August 2024 for about $17 each.
