Safety & Recalls

Light-up toys, a princess costume and Avengers medals recalled

CPSC recalls cover a light-up princess costume, finger lights, glasses and headbands with easy-to-open battery doors, plus medals whose magnets can detach.

Key points

  1. The CPSC recalled a light-up princess costume, finger lights, glasses and headbands because children can easily reach the button batteries.
  2. About 476 Avengers Infinity Gauntlet Medals were recalled because their high-powered magnets may detach.
  3. No incidents or injuries were reported in the four battery recalls.

Several light-up children's products have been pulled from the market in recent weeks because kids can get to the small batteries inside. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recalls for a princess costume, finger lights, glasses and headbands, and a separate recall covers medals with magnets that can come loose.

Families who are pulling out costumes and party favors may want to check them against the list below. No incidents or injuries were reported in any of the four battery recalls, according to the CIYTI, Bamamon, ABC Trading and Cade recall notices, but the CPSC warns that swallowed batteries and magnets can cause severe harm.

Key facts

The recalled products

CIYTI princess costume. The costume is a blue dress that comes with a light-up crown, a wand and a remote control. Button batteries sit inside the crowns, scepters and remotes. It sold on Amazon from February 2025 through June 2025 for $21 to $35. The CPSC says the costume breaks the mandatory toy standard.

Bamamon finger lights. These come in boxes of 32 in several colors. Each light holds three button batteries and can project eight space-themed patterns. Prices ran about $13 to $14 on Amazon.com, with sales running from March 2025 through August 2026.

ABC Trading light-up items. The recall covers glasses, crown headbands, sparkle headbands and ties. They sold at ABC Trading stores in Los Angeles, at other specialty stores across the country and on abctradinginc.com from September 2016 through May 2026, for about $1 each.

Cade finger lights. These sold on Amazon.com from March 2015 through July 2026 for $5 to $16, in boxes of 50.

Avengers Infinity Gauntlet Medals. The Conqueror has received three reports of the magnets coming off. The medals sold through the company's website and app from March 2026 through May 2026 for about $50. People who finished the Infinity Gauntlet virtual challenge on the Conqueror App got the medal, which ships in a black package marked "Marvel Avengers." The CPSC says the medal breaks the mandatory safety standard for magnets. Details of the three reports, including whether a child was involved, were not released.

Background

Small batteries are a known danger for young children. The CPSC says button cell and coin batteries are linked to thousands of emergency room visits each year. If a child swallows one, it can burn a hole in the throat or esophagus within two hours, the agency says. The agency says these batteries can cause internal chemical burns and death.

That is why the rules are strict. Toys that use button or coin batteries must have a secure closure that takes a screwdriver, coin or other tool to open. Under Reese's Law, the CPSC created 16 CFR part 1263, which says replaceable battery compartments must need a tool or at least two separate hand motions done at once to open. Toys that meet the battery rules in the Toy Standard, 16 CFR part 1250, are exempt from that section.

Magnets carry a different risk. The CPSC says swallowed high-powered magnets can pull toward each other or toward other metal inside the body. They can get stuck in the digestive system and cause holes, twisted or blocked intestines, blood poisoning and death.

What it means for you

Any of these items may still be in a closet, a costume bin or a party bag. It is not known how many are still in homes or how many have been sent back. It is also not known whether the Amazon sellers have reached out to buyers directly, so owners should not wait for a notice.

The CPSC says no markings appear on the CIYTI costume itself; only the package has "CIYTI" on the front. Parents who no longer have the box should compare the dress, crown and wand to the photos on the recall page.

Practical steps

What happens next

If a company does not respond or a refund is hard to get, consumers can file a recall complaint form with the CPSC.

FAQ

Should I give my child honey if they swallowed a button battery? The CPSC points to advice from the National Capital Poison Center: give 10mL of honey every 10 minutes, up to six doses, only to children 12 months or older who swallowed a battery within the past 12 hours. Do it on the way to the emergency room, and never delay care.

How can I tell if a light-up toy at home is risky? The CPSC advises checking that battery compartments are secure. Keep anything with a button battery door that lacks a screw closure away from children.

Is the CIYTI costume marked so I can identify it? No. The product itself has no markings; the brand name appears only on the front of the package.
