EEMB Coin-Battery Charger Recall: Secure the Four 2032 Cells First

What you need

• Phone camera
• Order history or receipt
• Dry, nonconductive lidded container kept away from children
• Nonconductive tape for terminals when local battery guidance calls for it
• Local household hazardous-waste or battery-recycling instructions
• CPSC incident-report page if an exposure or product failure occurred

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Stop charging and disconnect safely

   Do not run another cycle to confirm the model or condition. If the charger, cable, and cells are cool, dry, and undamaged, disconnect the USB power source by the plug. If anything is hot, swollen, leaking, smoking, or damaged, do not touch or move it; keep people away and follow emergency guidance.

2. 2

   Secure the four coin cells

   CPSC tells consumers to remove the batteries and place them where children cannot access them. An adult should move cool, intact cells one at a time into a dry, nonconductive lidded container without stacking bare terminals against metal. Keep the container locked or otherwise inaccessible to children while arranging the remedy and disposal.

3. 3

   Confirm model SKLC-0420-0040

   The recalled product has EEMB on the front and SKLC-0420-0040 on the back. It was sold as a kit with a charger, four rechargeable 2032 cells, and a USB cable. Use the model label and order record together; a similar charger shape or a separate EEMB battery package is not enough to identify this recall.

4. 4

   Document the kit and purchase

   Photograph the front, model label, charger, cells, cable, and Amazon order details without reconnecting anything. Save the purchase date, seller, order number, and any correspondence. The recall page lists sales from August 2024 through March 2026 for about $14.

5. 5

   Request the refund from A2batt

   Use the contact information on the current CPSC recall page or EEMB recall page. CPSC says consumers will be asked to write RECALL on the charger for the refund process. Follow the company’s current submission instructions; do not mark, open, or alter a hot or damaged unit.

6. 6

   Dispose of cells through the correct channel

   Follow local hazardous-waste or battery-recycling rules and the instructions provided with the recall. CPSC says batteries that remain in packaging should be disposed of under local hazardous-waste guidance and documented by photo. Do not sell, donate, mail, or place loose lithium cells in ordinary recycling.

The model label separates this recall from other EEMB notices

Recall 26-670 concerns the SKLC-0420-0040 rechargeable-coin-cell charger kit. CPSC also announced a separate May 2026 recall involving certain EEMB lithium battery pouches. The remedies and identifying details are not interchangeable, so start from the exact product and model rather than the brand name alone.

The current charger recall is based on access and packaging requirements under Reese’s Law, not a reported charging fire. Saying that clearly matters: no incidents were reported, but the absence of an incident does not cancel the stop-use and refund directions.

A missing coin cell is a medical question, not a search project

CPSC warns that a swallowed button or coin battery can burn through a child’s throat or esophagus in as little as two hours. A child may not immediately show a clear symptom. If a cell is unaccounted for and ingestion is possible, contact emergency medical services and Poison Help immediately rather than delaying to finish searching the room or complete the recall form.

Do not induce vomiting, offer food or drink, or rely on an online home remedy unless a poison specialist or clinician gives that direction for the exact situation. Bring the battery package or a matching cell to clinicians when it can be done without delaying care.

Why a DIY enclosure fix is not an acceptable remedy

• Tape, glue, or a homemade cover does not establish compliance with the mandatory accessibility standard.
• A successful charge cycle does not address the ingestion hazard.
• Substituting disposable CR2032 cells for rechargeable cells can create a separate charging hazard.
• Opening the charger can expose circuitry and may complicate the documented refund process.
• Only the remedy published by CPSC and the recalling firm should be treated as the recall resolution.
