Nearly 350,000 digital kitchen scales recalled
(WHTM) — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of nearly 350,000 digital kitchen scales due to an ingestion hazard.
According to CPSC, approximately 349,500 Greater Goods Digital Kitchen Scales have been recalled because they violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products that contain button cell or coin batteries.
Specifically, these kitchen scales have a lithium coin battery that can be easily accessed by children, and a spare coin battery provided with the product that is not in child-resistant packaging as required by Reese's Law.
These violations, in turn, pose an ingestion hazard, and additionally, CPSC says the recalled scales do not have the required warnings.
To date, there have been no injuries reported in relation to this recall.
This recall includes Greater Goods Digital Kitchen Scales, models 0480, 0455, 0456, 0458, 0473, 0479, 0481, 0747, 0748, 0749, 0751, 0752, 0754. The scales come in various colors such as gray, black, blue, green, pink, red, silver and white.
These kitchen scales were sold at Alexandra's Kitchen store located in Niskayuna, New York, and online at Amazon, Walmart, and Greater Goods from May 2023 through September 2024 for about $10.
According to CPSC, consumers should immediately remove the battery from the digital scale and place it in an area that children cannot access.
You can then contact Greater Goods for information on how to receive a free recall kit, which includes a new replacement battery door that can be secured to the scale, the required labeling, and an updated instruction manual.
