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 source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical—risk of serious injury or death if a child ingests a button cell battery. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score at most 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Innovative Designs LLC, of New York, is recalling approximately 75,900 Minecraft Light-Up Slap Ruler Bracelets (Models 718508MCR and 718075MCR). The bracelets were sold at Walmart stores nationwide from March 2025 through May 2025 for approximately $2 each. The bracelets come in pink and green and include three pre-installed button cell batteries.

The battery compartment can be opened easily by children, providing direct access to the button cell batteries. This design violates the mandatory safety standard for battery-operated toys. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious internal chemical burns or death.

Innovative Designs has received one report of a battery separating from the toy, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the bracelets and keep them away from children. To arrange disposal and receive a refund, contact Innovative Designs by email at [email protected] with a photograph of the disposed product. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous and should be disposed of or recycled according to local hazardous waste procedures.
