Petmate Recalls Pet Zone Pet Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Ingestion Hazard; Violation of Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Button Cell Batteries; Sold Exclusively at Menards
What to do (remedy: refund)
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pet toys and contact Petmate for a full refund. Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. If disposing of or recycling button cell or coin batteries, do so in a manner that follows local hazardous waste procedures.
Contact: Petmate toll-free at 888-847-8716 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at https://recallrtr.com/pettoys or https://petmate.com and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page for more information.
Why it was recalled
The recalled pet toys violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries as required by Reese's Law because the LED-illuminated plastic sphere can break upon impact, making the button cell batteries easily accessible to children, posing an ingestion hazard. Swallowed batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
Incidents/injuries: None reported
