According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the flashlight on the recalled kits violates the mandatory federal battery-operated toy regulation because they contain button cell batteries that are easily accessible without someone needing to use a common household tool. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death, posing an ingestion hazard.
The September 12, 2024, recall involves over 12,000 fort-making kits in the following models: FKL-BG, FKL-BR, L-5BG, and L-5BR. The model number can be found on the back of the box. The kits come in either green and blue or red and blue. The building kits contain 45 long sticks, 25 short sticks, 15 connecting tubes, 25 multilink balls, and a pack of five flashlights with button cell batteries.
The fort kits were sold at Amazon.com and Intelliotoys.com from December 2022 through August 2024 for about $44. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the flashlights immediately.
