Lil’ Buddies Pet Laser Toys are being recalled because they pose a battery ingestion hazard. They contain button cell batteries that are in a battery compartment that is not secure, so the batteries are easily accessible to children.

When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
