New packaging and warning label rules for button cell and coin batteries
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.
To reduce the risk of harm from battery ingestion, we’ll require you to submit safety and compliance documentation to verify that your packaging and warning labels comply with this new law.
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.
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.
