LED Gloves Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

China-based Minongad is recalling nearly 10,000 LED Gloves which violate the mandatory standard for toys containing coin batteries because the compartment that holds the batteries can be easily accessed and opened by children. “When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death,” according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Latest LED Gloves Recall Updates

July 24, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall, Recall No. 25-398, of about 9,900 Minongad LED Gloves, Model ST01 [1]. Children could open the battery compartment. Minongad sold the recalled LED Gloves exclusively through Amazon.com for about $14 a pair. Minongad is offering a full refund for the recalled gloves. No injuries have been reported.

Which LED Gloves Are Affected?

The recalled LED Gloves are identified by the markings on their packaging and the features described below. Check your gloves against these details before continuing to use them:
  • Product name: “LED Gloves” printed on the upper left of the black box packaging
  • Model number: “Model ST01” printed on the bottom of the box packaging
  • Description: Light-up white gloves sold in small and medium sizes with multiple flashing modes
  • Batteries included: Two pre-installed lithium coin batteries plus four spare coin batteries in the package
  • Seller: Sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Minongad from January 2025 through April 2025
No other LED glove products from other sellers are part of this recall. Consumers who are unsure whether their gloves match these details can compare them against the CPSC recall notice’s product photos. They can decide whether to stop use.

Why Were the LED Gloves Recalled?

The LED Gloves were recalled because children can easily open the coin-battery compartment. The spare batteries sold with them are not in child-resistant packaging, which Reese’s Law now requires for children’s products [2]. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found that this design violates the mandatory federal toy safety standard. Congress passed Reese’s Law after button and coin batteries caused thousands of emergency-room visits and several deaths among young children. CPSC’s rule now requires a screwdriver, a coin, or two separate hand movements to open a battery compartment, plus warning labels on the batteries themselves. That compartment is part of a child’s product.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The CPSC’s recall notice for the LED Gloves reports no incidents, injuries, or illnesses. This was true as of the recall’s July 24, 2025 announcement. That the notice reports no incidents does not mean the hazard is minor. CDC has documented tens of thousands of battery-related ER visits among children nationwide [3]. That figure spans many battery-powered products, not only LED gloves. Reports are not proof that the product caused every incident, but anyone who believes a child was harmed by these gloves can report it to CPSC. The same applies to anyone who has a battery-related injury after using them.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled pair of Minongad LED Gloves, Model ST01, should take the following steps as soon as possible:
  1. Stop using the LED Gloves immediately and take them away from children.
  2. Remove and safely store the batteries, out of children’s reach, until they can be disposed of.
  3. Dispose of the gloves and batteries by following local hazardous-waste rules. Do not put loose coin batteries in household trash.
  4. Contact Minongad by email at yummyet2022@outlook.com to request your refund under the recall.
  5. If you already contacted Minongad about a refund and are having trouble getting it, report the issue through CPSC’s Recall Complaint Form for this notice. For any other problem, call CPSC’s Consumer Hotline at 800-638-2772.
  6. If a child may have swallowed or inserted a loose battery, do not wait for symptoms to appear. The National Capital Poison Center advises taking the child to an emergency room right away [4].
The recall stems from a violation of the mandatory federal toy safety standard and the Reese’s Law child-resistant coin-battery packaging requirement. No lawsuit connected to this recall has been filed. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation had not formed an MDL. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Whether a claim is available depends on the facts, including whether anyone was harmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Symptoms of Swallowing a Battery from These Gloves?

The symptoms of swallowing a battery from these gloves include wheezing, noisy breathing, drooling, and vomiting. Other signs are chest or abdominal pain, trouble swallowing, coughing, choking, or gagging while eating. Symptoms can be delayed, so seek emergency care right away if ingestion is suspected.

What Are CPSC’s Contact Hours for Reporting a Problem with the LED Gloves?

CPSC’s Consumer Hotline for reporting a problem with the LED Gloves is open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. Consumers who are deaf or hard of hearing can reach the same hotline through TTY at 800-638-8270.

What Is Reese’s Law?

Reese’s Law is federal legislation enacted August 16, 2022. It directed the Consumer Product Safety Commission to set nationwide safety rules for products with button cell or coin batteries. The law led CPSC to adopt the mandatory ANSI/UL 4200A-2023 standard for child-resistant battery compartments and packaging.

How Common Are Battery-Ingestion Injuries in Children Nationwide?

Battery-ingestion injuries in children are common nationwide. CPSC data show an estimated 40,400 children under 13 were treated in emergency departments for battery-related injuries. That count spans 1997 through 2010. CPSC also recorded 27 deaths and about 54,300 more emergency-room-treated injuries from 2011 through 2021.

Who Manufactured the Recalled LED Gloves?

The recalled LED Gloves were manufactured in China. They were imported and sold by Jinanmingzhongdashangmaoxiaoshouyouxiangongsi, doing business as Minongad, exclusively on Amazon.com. No dedicated company website was found, so consumers seeking a refund should contact Minongad by email.

What Happens If a Battery Is Swallowed?

If a battery is swallowed, it can lodge in the esophagus. It can begin causing chemical burns within about two hours, according to CPSC. The battery’s electrical current damages tissue. This can cause serious internal injury or death within days if the battery is not removed promptly.
