“There is a risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death to young children if they gain access to the button batteries and swallow or insert them,” the government body warned.
“Severe or fatal injuries can happen in two hours or less.”
Consumers are urged to stop using the affected products immediately and store them out of the reach of children.
Consumers should return their product to their place of purchase to receive a refund.
