The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a high-priority recall for Meaicezli Play Purse Sets, sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Angeer-US. The recall follows findings that these toys violate mandatory federal safety standards by allowing easy access to button cell batteries, posing a severe risk of ingestion that can lead to permanent injury or death in children.
At Anapol Weiss, we believe that manufacturers have a non-negotiable duty to ensure the products they put in the hands of children are safe. When those standards are ignored, the consequences for families can be devastating.
A Hidden Danger in the Playroom
The recall affects Meaicezli Play Purse Sets sold between August 2025 and October 2025. These sets often include toy cell phones, watches, and remote controls, all of which are powered by button cell or coin batteries.
The danger lies in the battery compartments, which are not properly secured. If a child swallows a button battery, it can become lodged in the esophagus. Once there, the battery creates an electrical current that reacts with saliva to produce caustic soda. This can cause internal chemical burns that eat through vital tissues in as little as two hours, resulting in lifelong complications or fatal injuries.
Was This a Christmas Gift?
Because this recall was issued near the end of the year, many of these play sets may have been purchased as Christmas or holiday gifts for toddlers and young children. If your child received a toy purse or accessory kit this holiday season, we urge you to check the brand name immediately. Even if the toy appears to be intact, the risk of a battery falling out during play is too high to ignore.
What Should Parents Do?
If you own one of these recalled sets, the CPSC advises taking the following steps immediately:
- Stop Use Immediately: Take the toy cell phone and toy writing tablet away from children and store them in a secure location they cannot reach.
- Document and Dispose: To receive a refund, you must email a photograph confirming the disposal of both the toy cell phone and the writing tablet to the manufacturer.
- Handle Batteries Safely: The CPSC notes that button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. Do not throw them in the regular trash; instead, dispose of or recycle them according to your local hazardous waste procedures.
- Seek a Refund: Contact Angeer-US directly via email at meaicezli-services@outlook.com to submit your proof of disposal and request a full refund of the purchase price.
How a Product Liability Lawyer Can Help
While a refund covers the cost of the toy, it does not account for the physical and emotional trauma a family suffers if a child is injured by a defective product. If your child has been injured after interacting with a Meaicezli Play Purse Set or any toy containing accessible button batteries, a refund is not enough to hold the responsible parties accountable.
An experienced product liability attorney at Anapol Weiss can help you:
- Investigate the Claim: We look into the manufacturing and testing process to determine how these dangerous toys reached consumers.
- Hold Large Retailers Accountable: Navigating claims involving third-party sellers on platforms like Amazon requires specific legal knowledge and experience.
- Seek Fair Compensation: We fight for damages that cover medical expenses, long-term care for internal injuries, and pain and suffering.
