Hurt, no treatment Made May 20, 2025, sent to the company May 23, 2025, published by CPSC Jun 9, 2025
The product, in the report: Button cell batteries - fully intact in their packaging.
On 5/19/25, I received a small envelope of button cell batteries purchased through Amazon. The outer Amazon bubble mailer was clean, but the smaller manila envelope inside was covered with a black gritty substance that transferred heavily onto my hands. The material caused immediate skin irritation and got under my fingernails, requiring extensive washing to remove. Shortly after exposure, I experienced a spike in blood pressure and developed a lingering headache. The substance continues to shed fine particles if moved at all so it has been sealed in double bags to prevent further exposure.
I contacted Amazon and was told it could take up to 48 hours for a response. I am concerned this material may be hazardous, and the lack of urgency in their handling of the incident makes me question how often this might occur or go unreported. They sent me requests to process a refund instead. I continued down the appropriate links to try to reach a different or more urgent response but instead received a message that they will contact me in another 10 days. The headache I developed hasn’t gone away since yesterday and my hands continue to feel sensitive, almost like there are tiny invisible cuts on them.
Product Packaging: Amazon-branded bubble mailer containing a smaller manila envelope and a blister pack of button cell batteries. Batteries appear intact and sealed.
Request: I would like this investigated to determine the nature of the black particulate material and whether it poses a health risk. I still have the contaminated packaging available for testing if needed. I would someone to confirm what I have been exposed to. I would like someone to tell me something other than to go get my vitals checked considering my blood pressure has returned to normal but I still have symptoms.
