Popular online retailer, Wish, has recalled one of their products, due to fears it could lead to serious health implications, such as chemical, choking and damage to sight issues.
The risk was reported to the competition and consumer protection commission, with the safety issue being identified on a projection flashlight.
On the product, the battery compartment can be easily opened, leaving the button batteries accessible. A child may put these in their mouth, which could cause them to choke or, if swallowed, could cause damage to the child’s gastrointestinal tract.
The fears do not stop there as the beam intensity of the white LED is too powerful. This means direct viewing of the beam could cause damage to sight.
