Thousands of firearm red & gold dot sights recalled; here's why
(WHTM) — The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of nearly 10,000 Holosun Technologies Red & Gold Firearm Dot Sights.
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 from February 2023 through August 2024 for between $250 and $350.
