Junpower CR2032 Lithium Coin Batteries Recalled for Ingestion Hazard

Junpower CR2032 Batteries (20-piece packs) lack required child-resistant packaging and warning labels. If swallowed, these lithium coin batteries can cause serious internal injuries or death.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly identifies a risk of death from battery ingestion and non-compliance with federal child-resistant packaging requirements. Per the severity rubric, products with stated risk of serious injury or death qualify for Critical (score 5), and the source text directly names death as a potential consequence.
