CPSC recalls A2batt coin battery chargers over child ingestion risk

What happened

The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled A2batt EEMB lithium coin battery chargers after finding the units give children easy access to lithium coin cells and omit required packaging protections. Officials state the chargers violate the mandatory standard for products with button or coin batteries, the supplied cells lack child-resistant packaging, and packaging omits mandated warnings, creating ingestion hazards that can cause serious internal injury or death.

Why it matters to your store

Independent retailers stocking these chargers face immediate compliance and liability exposure if units remain on shelves, in back stock, or in online listings. Removing affected SKUs protects customers and avoids continuing to sell goods that already fail a mandatory federal safety standard tied to coin-battery ingestion.

Signal to watch

This week, verify open orders, shelf stock, and marketplace listings for A2batt EEMB lithium coin battery chargers and remove any matching units before further sales if your assortment includes them.

Canada recalls DR Power PRO MAX30 mowers over blade hazard

Evidence

What happened

Health Canada recalled DR Power PRO MAX30 30-inch Deck Wide Cut Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers because the cutting blades may run when the blade control is not engaged or keep spinning after that control is let go, creating a laceration risk. By July 28, 2026 the firm had logged no Canadian incident or injury reports, compared with nineteen U.S. incident reports and zero injuries.

Why it matters to your store

Specialty and hardware independents that still hold this model face immediate compliance and inventory exposure, including stop-sale, quarantine, and customer return handling that ties up staff time and cash until units are cleared.

Action to take

Verify this week whether any PRO MAX30 units remain in inventory, open orders, or sales records, and quarantine matching SKUs before further sales if those mowers are in your assortment.
