If swallowed, button or coin batteries present a risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death.
Severe or fatal injuries can happen in two hours or less.
Consumers may be unaware that the product contains button batteries as a result of the label issue.

The recall applies to the blue medium, blue large and red large collars, and the blue and red safety leashes.
Consumers should move the collar and leash out of children’s or pet’s reach.
