Battery Ingestion Risk Prompts Recall of CIYTI Light-Up Princess Costumes 2026

Button batteries are small enough to be swallowed in seconds, and once one is inside a child’s body it can cause internal chemical burns and even death. That is the danger behind a newly announced U.S. recall of CIYTI Light-Up Princess Costumes, posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on October 22, 2026.

The costumes are being recalled by FoShanShiNanHaiQuNuoAiTongZhuangShangHang, of China, because the button cell batteries inside can be reached easily by children. As a result, the product violates the mandatory safety standard for toys. About 94 units are affected, and no incidents or injuries have been reported so far.

If you bought a light-up princess dress set for a child on Amazon in 2025, it is worth checking the packaging today.

Recalled Products at a Glance

The recall covers CIYTI Light-Up Princess Costumes. Each set includes a blue dress, a crown and a wand that light up, plus a remote control. According to the CPSC, the crowns, scepters and remote controls contain button batteries.

The product itself carries no markings. The way to identify it is the package, which has ‘CIYTI’ printed on the front.

What Triggered the Recall

The issue is a failure to meet a federal safety requirement. The CPSC says the costumes violate the mandatory safety standard for toys because the button cell batteries can be accessed easily by children. That access creates a deadly ingestion hazard.

The agency explains that if button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death. Because the batteries sit in several parts of the set, including the crown, the wand and the remote, there is more than one place a child could reach them.

No injuries have been reported in connection with these costumes. The recall is a preventive step meant to get the toys out of homes before a child is hurt.

Where Were These Products Sold?

The costumes were sold online at Amazon from February 2025 through June 2025. Prices ranged from $21 to $35. The seller named in the notice is FoShanShiNanHaiQuNuoAiTongZhuangShangHang, of China, and the product was also manufactured in China.

Only about 94 units are involved, so the recall is small. Even so, a single set in a household with young children is enough to create a serious risk. Parents, grandparents and gift-givers who bought a princess costume during that spring and early summer window should confirm whether theirs is a CIYTI set.

Steps Consumers Should Take

The CPSC says consumers should act right away. Here is what the notice asks you to do:

• Take the princess costume away from children immediately and stop using it.
• Contact FoShanShiNanHaiQuNuoAiTongZhuangShangHang by email at Norakid2026@outlook.com to request a full refund.
• Write ‘RECALLED’ with a permanent marker on the dress, crown, wand and remote.
• Throw away the toys after marking them.
• Submit a photo of the disposed toys to Norakid2026@outlook.com.

The CPSC also adds an important note on the batteries themselves. Button cell batteries are hazardous, and they should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures. Do not simply leave loose batteries where a child could find them.

Keep in mind that the refund process asks you to destroy and document the product rather than ship it back. Mark each piece clearly before it goes in the trash so that no one else picks it up and uses it.

Regulatory Response

In its recall notice, the CPSC describes the remedy as a refund and urges consumers to stop using the costumes at once. The agency also reminds the public that federal law prohibits anyone from selling products subject to a Commission-ordered recall or to a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.

Consumers who want more information can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270). Anyone who has experienced a dangerous product or a product-related injury can report it at SaferProducts.gov.

Why Button Batteries Deserve Extra Caution

Toys with light-up features are popular, and costume accessories like crowns and wands often rely on small coin-shaped batteries. When those batteries are not secured, a child can pull them out and put them in the mouth. The CPSC notice makes clear that swallowing one can lead to serious internal injury, which is why the agency treats easy battery access as a violation of the toy standard.

If you have other battery-powered toys at home, it is a good habit to check that the battery compartments are closed and secure, and to keep spare batteries out of children’s reach.
