SIG SAUER is recalling about 230,000 ROMEO5 Red Dot Sights because they contain button cell batteries that are too easily accessible. The product violates federal safety regulations under Reese's Law because the battery compartment can be opened without tools, the battery packaging is not child-resistant, and the product lacks required safety warnings. The recall affects models SOR52001 and 7400579 (also sold as part of kit SORJ53101) sold nationwide from February 2023 through December 2024.
Children can easily access and swallow the button cell batteries inside these sights. Swallowed button cell batteries can cause severe internal chemical burns, serious injury, or death in as little as two hours.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled firearm sights and contact SIG SAUER for instructions on how to submit a picture of the serial number to receive a free recall kit, which includes a new cap with the required labeling and an updated instruction manual. Consumers will be provided with instructions on how to locate the serial number. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
Model 7400579 is a part included with Model SORJ53101. The serial number is located on the bottom of the sight.
