Petmate is recalling about 15,400 Pet Zone-branded Laser Pointer & LED Ball pet toys because the clear motion-activated plastic ball can break upon impact, making its button cell batteries accessible. The recalled sets include a white laser pointer with blue paw prints and were sold exclusively at Menards stores and online from September 2024 through March 2025 for approximately $4. Consumers should immediately stop using these toys and contact Petmate for a full refund.
If the clear ball breaks, children can easily access and swallow the button cell batteries. Swallowed batteries can cause internal chemical burns, serious injuries, or death within hours. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pet toys and contact Petmate for a full refund. Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. If disposing of or recycling button cell or coin batteries, do so in a manner that follows local hazardous waste procedures.
Laser pointer label includes 'Accession No. 2430278-000'. Set contains six preinstalled button cell batteries.
