The recalled battery chargers violate the mandatory standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries, because the charger has lithium coin batteries that can be accessed easily by children. In addition, the coin batteries provided with the battery charger are not in child-resistant packaging, and the packaging does not have the warnings, as required by Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Battery charger recall questions

How many battery chargers have been recalled?

As of October 31, 2026, CPSC has published 124 recall notices for battery chargers since 1974, covering at least 22 million units. The most recent is “A2batt Recalls EEMB Lithium Coin Battery Chargers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Battery Ingestion; Violate Mandatory Standard for Consumer Products with Coin Batteries” (CPSC 26-670), announced August 6, 2026.

Are there any battery charger recalls in 2026?

Yes. As of October 31, 2026, CPSC has published 3 recall notices for battery chargers in 2026, the most recent on August 6, 2026 (CPSC 26-670).

What is the largest battery charger recall?

“Dell Recall of Notebook Computer Batteries Due To Fire Hazard” (CPSC 06-231), announced August 15, 2006: about 2.7 million units.

Which brands have recalled battery chargers?

Brands named most often: Sony (9), Hewlett-Packard (6), Dell (5), Lenovo (4), Apple (3), DEWALT (3), Horizon Hobby (3) and HP (3), plus 91 more brands. Brand-name products are often made by another firm, so one recall can span several brands.

How do I check if my battery charger is recalled?

Find the model number on the product's rating label, then type it into the model-number lookup on this page. A match means the number appears in an official CPSC notice; open that notice to confirm any date codes or serial ranges it lists. No match is not proof that a product is safe. 64 of the 124 notices here list model numbers. They also name serial numbers in 10, date codes or manufacture dates in 22 and lot or batch numbers in 4. The place they name most often is “at the top of the service label on the bottom of the notebook computer”.

What should I do if my battery charger is recalled?

Follow the remedy in the official notice and contact the firm it names. Across battery charger recalls, the remedies offered most often are replacement (25), refund (16) and repair (4).
