Thousands of firearm red & gold dot sights recalled; here's why
According to CPSC, about 9,400 Holosun Red and Gold Firearm Dot Sights were recalled for violating the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the lithium coin battery can be easily accessed, posing an ingestion hazard.
Furthermore, the dot sights include a lithium coin battery, which is not in child-resistant packaging as required by Reese's Law and they do not have the required warnings.
CPSC adds that if button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
To date, no incidents of injuries have been reported.
The recall includes both Holosun Firearm Dot Sights: Red Dot Sights (Model HS503G-ACSS) and Gold Dot Sights (Model HE512C-GD).
The sights were sold at Primary Arms, EuroOptic, GRITR Sports, Davidson's, MidwayUSA, Carolina Sporting Arms, Palmetto State Armory, other stores nationwide, and online at opticsplanet.com from February 2023 through August 2024 for between $250 and $350.
Moving forward, Consumers should stop using the recalled Firearm Dot Sights and place them in an area children cannot access.
You can contact Holosun Technologies for instructions on receiving a free recall kit which includes a battery compartment enclosure with the required labeling and an updated instruction manual for HS503G-ACSS models.
