Fidget Spinner LED Light Up Pen Recalled Due to Unsecured Button Battery Hazard

What Happened

The Fidget Spinner LED Light Up Pen is being recalled because it does not comply with mandatory safety standards for products containing button or coin batteries. The battery compartment is not properly secured, which may allow children to access the batteries. Furthermore, the product is missing essential warning information regarding the dangers of button batteries and instructions on what to do if a battery is swallowed or inserted into the body.
