According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled firearm sights contain a button cell battery that violates the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell batteries because they can be easily accessed, posing an ingestion hazard. The CPSC’s recall indicated the products include a button cell battery that is not in child-resistant packaging as required by Reese’s Law. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
The January 8, 2024, recall includes about 230,000 SIG SAUER ROMEO5 Red Dot Sights (Models SOR52001 and SORJ53101). They are labeled with the SIG SAUER logo and ROMEO5 name on one side of the product. The model number can be found on the product packaging. The optic sights come in black with one packaged CR2032 button cell battery included.
The optical gun sights were sold at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Warehouse, Academy Sports, Scheels, and other stores and local independent firearms and equipment stores nationwide and online at Sigsauer.com, Amazon.com, Opticsplanet.com, EuroOptic.com, Palmettostatearmory.com, Midwayusa.com, Chattanoogashooting.com, Gritrsports.com, Bereli.com, Battlehawkarmory.com and other online optics websites from February 2023 through December 2024 for between $130 and $200.
