Bright Builder Fort Kits with Flashlights, battery ingestion hazard

Country	United States

Published	2024-09-12
Importer	Intellio Toys, of Houston, Texas
Retailer	Amazon.com and Intelliotoys.com
Model identifiers	FKL-BG, FKL-BR, L-5BG and L-5BR
Units affected	12400
Hazard	Battery Ingestion Hazard
Hazard description	The flashlight on the recalled kits violates the mandatory federal battery-operated toy regulation because the flashlights contain button cell batteries in a compartment that can be easily opened without requiring the use of a common household tool. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death, posing an ingestion hazard.
Non-compliance	Federal Regulations for Battery-Operated Toys
Remedy	Consumers should immediately stop using the flashlights in the recalled fort kits, keep them away from children, and contact Intellio Toys for instructions on how to receive a refund between $10 and $15, depending on the model. Consumers can continue to use the fort kits without the flashlights. Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local procedures for hazardous household waste. Amazon and Intellio Toys are contacting all known purchasers directly.
