Which ones does it cover?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Akavivo Submersible LED Lights because the products violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. The LED lights contain lithium coin batteries that can be accessed easily by children, posing an ingestion hazard. Reese’s Law and CPSC’s implementing regulations establish performance and warning label requirements for consumer products with button cell or coin batteries to protect children from life threatening ingestion. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns or death. CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Huizhou Ousheng Technology Co., Ltd., of China, doing business as Akavivo. Akavivo Store has not agreed to recall these LED lights or offer a remedy to consumers. About 14,450 LED light sets were sold on Amazon from March 2025 through November 2025 for about $20. The LED lights may have also been sold by various third-party sellers and on other websites. The LED light sets include 10 color changing lights, two remote controls, 20 preinstalled CR2032 lithium batteries in the lights and four preinstalled CR2032 lithium batteries in the remote controls. Each light measures 1.18 inches in diameter by 0.8 inches high. These products were manufactured in China. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the LED lights immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous LED lights. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. The battery in the Submersible LED Lights should be disposed of or recycled following local hazardous waste procedures.
