Emergency room Made Jul 9, 2024, sent to the company Jul 12, 2024, published by CPSC Aug 5, 2024
The product, in the report: The product is an orange light up organge halloween pail that resembles a smiling jack o lantern and is used and labeled as a children’s toy and or for trick or treating. It has a handle for a child to hold and is attractive to children. It is the normal size for a halloween pail.
My 3.5 yo son was using a light up halloween pail manufactured by cool things inc. and sold by CVS. The pail was labeled as safe for children 3 and up, the only warning was a choking hazard. A button battery that was not properly secured/safeguarded/or warned about came out of the pail, and my 3.5 yo son put it in his nose which got stuck in his nose and burned a permanent hole in his nose despite his parents immediately taking him to the ER where a team of ENT’s had to work very hard to remove the battery. Multiple ENT’s stated my son would have suffered brain damage or possibly died if he had accidentally ingested the button battery. There is no warning or safeguard against such hazards.
