New packaging and warning label rules for button cell and coin batteries
If you sell standalone button cell and coin batteries, starting March 2, 2023, you’ll be required to prove that your products have child-resistant packaging and warning labels.
Last August, the United States Congress passed Reese’s Law which introduced new child safety standards for all products manufactured after February 12, 2023, containing button cell and coin batteries. To reduce the risk of harm from battery ingestion, we will require you to submit safety and compliance documentation to verify that your packaging and warning labels comply with this new law.
Federal standards for button cell, coin batteries, and consumer products that contain them, are expected by August 15, 2023. Our policy may eventually include other products containing button cell or coin cell batteries to comply with Reese’s Law.
This policy includes standalone button cell or coin batteries. A button battery is a single-cell battery that’s used to power wristwatches, computer clocks, hearing aids, and other small devices. Also called a “coin cell” batteries, button batteries resemble buttons and look like small, squat silver cans that are 5 – 25 mm in diameter and 1 – 6 mm high. Stainless steel usually forms the bottom body and positive terminal of the cell. The metallic top cap is insulated from the bottom and forms the negative terminal. Button batteries deliver 1 – 5 volts and come in alkaline, silver, zinc-air, and lithium varieties.
