    About 7,747 LED lights were sold by RiKiss online at Amazon.com from March 2024 for about $19. A sticker on the front of the LED lights’ packaging bears the words “RiKiss Submersibe LED Lights” followed by “Model: R3022.” The product includes 10 color changing lights, a remote control, 20 preinstalled CR2032 lithium batteries in the lights and two preinstalled CR2032 lithium batteries in the remote control.

    CPSC urges consumers to stop using the LED lights immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous LED lights.

    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.
