Plain-English summary
EEMB USA, doing business as A2batt, Inc., of Redlands, California, is recalling approximately 312,100 EEMB lithium coin battery packs. The recalled models include CR2025, CR2032, CR2450, CR2477, CR2016, CR1220, CR1225, CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, and CR2025-10, sold in five, ten, or twenty count packs.

The batteries are packaged in pouches that do not meet federal requirements for child-resistant packaging of coin batteries. If a child ingests these button cell or coin batteries, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.
The recalled batteries were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2023 through April 2026 for between $3 and $9. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using the lithium batteries immediately and place them in an area that children cannot access.
