Bought EEMB lithium coin batteries on Amazon? Stop using them, keep them away from children, and request EEMB's full refund — the pouches aren't child-resistant as required under Reese's Law.
What Is Being Recalled?
EEMB USA, doing business as A2batt, Inc., of Redlands, California, is recalling about 312,100 EEMB lithium coin batteries sold in individual pouches. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall (number 26-465) on May 7, 2026. The batteries were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2023 through April 2026 for between $3 and $9.The lithium coin batteries are packaged in pouches that are not child-resistant as required under Reese's Law, the federal statute requiring child-resistant packaging for button cell and coin batteries. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, the ingested battery can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns and death.
The affected models are CR2025, CR2032, CR2450, CR2477, CR2016, CR1220, CR1225, CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, and CR2025-10, sold in five-, 10-, and 20-count packs. The silver batteries are marked "EEMB" along with the battery type on the front, and came in white pouches with "EEMB" printed in the upper-left corner. No incidents or injuries had been reported at the time of the recall.
Why Are the EEMB Batteries Being Recalled?
Reese's Law took effect to address a long-standing danger: small coin and button cell batteries are easy for young children to remove from loose packaging and swallow. When swallowed, these batteries can lodge in the esophagus and cause severe internal chemical burns within hours, sometimes with fatal results. The law requires that the batteries be sold in child-resistant packaging and carry specific warnings.The CPSC determined that EEMB's pouches do not meet those child-resistant packaging requirements, which is why the batteries are being recalled even though the cells themselves function normally. The recall is preventive — it is about the packaging, not a defect in the batteries.
