Green Pastures Wholesale recalled about 1,250 LED fireplace lanterns on June 26, 2025, because the battery in the remote is easy for children to reach. The lanterns are models SP-14, SP-55, SP-66 and SP-78.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lists the action as recall 25-360, with a full refund. The recall is open. Green Pastures Wholesale is contacting all known purchasers directly.

June 26, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall 25-360
CPSC announced recall 25-360 of about 1,250 LED fireplace lanterns. Green Pastures Wholesale imported them. The remedy is a full refund [1]. The agency names an ingestion hazard from the battery in the remote.
Which Fireplace Lanterns Are Affected?
The recall covers LED fireplace lanterns with these details:
- Model numbers SP-14, SP-55, SP-66 and SP-78, with about 1,250 units in total
- A black metal frame around an LED fireplace, with a metal fence, free standing or on four legs
- A lantern, a USB power cable, a remote control and one CR2025 lithium battery in the remote
- Sold from January 2025 through April 2025 for between $13 and $25, depending on the model
- Sold at the AmericasMart Atlanta showroom, warehouses in Columbus, Ohio, Paxton, Illinois and Clarksville, Tennessee, and GreenPasturesWholesale.com
The model number is printed on top of the box. Check the box for the model number to see whether your lantern is recalled.
Why Were Fireplace Lanterns Recalled?
The fireplace lanterns were recalled because children can easily reach the lithium coin battery in the remote control. That poses an ingestion hazard. The lanterns violate the mandatory federal standard for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries.
The lanterns also lack the warning labels that Reese’s Law requires for products with coin batteries. The law was enacted August 16, 2022 [2].
It tells CPSC to set safety rules for coin batteries and the products that use them. The rule is 16 CFR part 1263. It took effect on October 23, 2023 [3].
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC lists no incidents or injuries for the recalled lanterns. If you know of a problem with one, report it at SaferProducts.gov.
CPSC warns that swallowed coin batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death. From 2011 through 2021, CPSC is aware of 27 deaths and 54,300 estimated emergency room injuries linked to ingested or inserted batteries.
What Should Consumers Do?
If you own one of the recalled lanterns, follow these steps:
- Stop using the lantern immediately and remove the battery from the remote control.
- Place the battery where children cannot reach it. Dispose of or recycle it by local hazardous household waste procedures, not in the trash.
- Contact Green Pastures Wholesale at 855-787-7429, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or at info@greenpastureswholesale.com. Ask for a free UPS shipping label and a full refund. The company’s recall page is at greenpastureswholesale.com/product-recall.
- Report a dangerous product or injury at SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
- If a child may have swallowed a coin battery, go to the nearest emergency department. Call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 800-498-8666 or the Poison Help Line at 800-222-1222.
Legal Options
A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility. A person whose child was hurt by a coin battery in a product could ask a lawyer whether a product liability claim is possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where Were the Recalled Fireplace Lanterns Made?
The recalled fireplace lanterns were manufactured in China, according to the CPSC notice. Green Pastures Wholesale of Baltimore, Maryland imported them, and the recall covers all four models sold in the United States.
What Should I Keep If a Child Is Hurt by a Recalled Fireplace Lantern?
If a child is hurt, keep the lantern and its remote control, the box showing the model number, the battery, the receipt or order record, photographs, medical records and messages with the seller.
What Are the Symptoms If a Child Swallows a Coin Battery?
A swallowed coin battery can harm a child fast. According to CPSC, it can burn through the throat or esophagus in as little as two hours. Take any child suspected of swallowing one to the nearest emergency department immediately.
How Can I Keep Other Coin Battery Products Safe?
To keep other coin battery products safe, CPSC advises keeping products with accessible batteries away from children if the battery compartments do not have a screw closure to secure them.
