More than 50,000 pet laser toys are being recalled across the US after officials warned they posed a “significant risk of injury or death” to children.
The recall affects approximately 51,160 “Lil’ Buddies Pet Laser” toys sold by JC Sales of Los Angeles. The products fail to meet mandatory safety standards for products containing button cell and coin batteries, according to a Thursday notice from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The agency said the toys have an unsecured battery compartment, allowing small batteries to be easily accessible to children.

“The recalled pet toys violate the mandatory standard for consumer products with button cell and coin batteries because the battery compartment is not secured, making the button cell batteries easily accessible to children, posing a fatal risk,” the notice said.
Officials also noted that the products were not sold in child-proof packaging and did not have the necessary hazard warnings.
Button cell and coin batteries can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, causing internal burns, serious injury or death, according to the notice.

Made in China, they were sold nationwide at stores including VR Wholesale in Arizona and Viva Bargain in California, as well as online at jcsalesweb.com, from February 2023 to November 2025 for about $1.
No injuries have been reported so far.

The recall comes amid a series of recent consumer product safety alerts.
More than 5,000 Graco infant car seats sold at Target, Walmart and other supermarkets are also being recalled nationwide after the company and federal regulators raised the alarm about a potential injury risk linked to the seat.
