What to do now: Stop using the recalled JINHEZO lights and move the entire set where children cannot reach it. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on August 20, 2026, because the coin batteries can be accessed by children and the product lacks required warnings. Our view: because one 24-pack contains 48 coin cells, treat this as a battery-safety problem—not a quick décor cleanup. We would protect walking paths, comfort, and daily return points before adding furniture or décor. More objects rarely solve a layout problem by themselves.
Who is affected
The recall covers about 2,798 JINHEZO Mini Waterproof LED Tea Lights sold in 24-packs on Amazon from March 2024 through July 2026 for about $16 to $20. Each clear, round light has a white base, measures about 1 inch across and 1.14 inches tall, and contains two coin-cell batteries. No incidents or injuries had been reported when CPSC published the recall.
How to identify the recalled lights
- Brand or listing name: JINHEZO Mini Waterproof LED Tea Lights.
- Package: 24 lights with 48 coin-cell batteries—two per light.
- Appearance: clear circular housing, white base, and a small clear LED tip.
- Seller and period: Amazon, March 2024 through July 2026.
If the listing name or order history is unavailable, compare the lights with the official recall photo and contact the importer before assuming a similar-looking light is covered.
Take these steps
- Stop using the lights immediately. Secure the full set and any loose batteries away from children.
- Request the refund. CPSC says to email Mystic ZO at jinhemaoyi2016@sina.com with the Amazon order number or product barcode, if available, plus a photo showing the lights disposed of in the trash.
- Handle batteries separately and safely. Follow local household hazardous-waste or battery-recycling instructions. CPSC advises taping the terminals of removed batteries before taking them to a collection site.
If a battery may have been swallowed
Seek immediate medical attention. Call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 800-498-8666 or Poison Help at 800-222-1222. Do not wait for symptoms. Follow the medical professional's instructions.
Why the product was recalled
CPSC says the battery compartments let children access the coin cells and the packaging lacks warnings required under the mandatory federal standard implementing Reese's Law. Coin batteries can cause serious internal injury or death if swallowed.
The practical bottom line
Do not leave these lights in a drawer while waiting for a refund response. First secure all 24 lights and account for loose batteries; then document the set and follow the recall instructions. For a broader room-by-room check, use the pet-proof home checklist and the home electrical safety checklist.
