WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Kids Light Up Ballet Skirts. The skirts violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. The string of LED lights connected to the skirts contains button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children, posing an ingestion hazard. In addition, the products do not bear the required warnings.
Reese's Lawand CPSC regulations that implement it establish performance and warning label requirements for consumer products with button cell or coin batteries to protect children from life threatening ingestion. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns or death.
The CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Happy Cart Emporium, of China, doing business as PLGEBR, but the seller has not agreed to an acceptable recall.
The Kids Light Up Ballet Skirts were sold online from April 2024 through February 2025 for about $6.
The skirts were sold in yellow with silver circles and stars on the outer layer. The battery compartment of the lights connected to the skirts contains three LR44 Alkaline button cell batteries. CPSC is aware that the skirts were also sold in the colors pink, rose red, red, blue and green.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Kids Light Up Ballet Skirts immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. When disposing of or recycling button cell or coin batteries, do so in a manner that follows local hazardous waste procedures.
Do not sell or give away these hazardous Kids Light Up Ballet Skirts.

The elastic on the pajamas' ankles can be too tight and restrict blood circulation, posing an injury hazard.
The zipper pull on the back of the plush bags can detach, posing a risk of serious injury or death from choking and/or ingestion of the zipper pull.
The recalled children's pajama sets violate flammability standards for children's sleepwear, posing a burn hazard and risk of serious injuries or death to children.
The painted hair clips contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban, posing a lead poisoning hazard to children. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.
The hook of one boot can catch on the lace of the other boot, posing a fall hazard to the consumer.
The recalled jewelry-making kits contain a resin that, when liquid, can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation or sensitization when inhaled, touched or ingested. The resin contains an acrylate (hydroxyethylmethacrylate "HEMA") in amounts prohibited in children's products by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Already created jewelry should be inspected to confirm it is fully cured. If there is liquid or any liquid residue present, the jewelry should not be worn and should be stored away from children. Once cured, the resin no longer presents the hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
