MZB Recalls Children's Watches Due to Risk of Skin Irritation

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

MZB is recalling approximately 1.9 million children's "Light Up" watches after 11 reports of skin irritation and chemical burns, with six cases requiring medical treatment. The watches feature flexible plastic wristbands in various colors and designs, including pink with snowflakes and navy blue. The case-back can detach and expose the interior to moisture, which creates a hazardous environment for the wearer's skin. These watches were sold at Kmart, Kohl's, Walmart, and other retailers nationwide from October 2012 through June 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these watches and contact MZB for a full refund.

Risk

The watch case-back can detach and allow water to enter the interior, which can cause the internal components to react and pose a risk of redness, rashes, skin irritation, or chemical burns to a child's wrist.
