SalesOne International of Norwalk, Conn., is recalling about 8,400 units of light up ear plug jewelry.
Battery acid can leak from ear plug jewelry’s battery, posing a burn hazard to consumers.
The firm has received three reports of burn injuries to consumers when battery acid leaked out of the ear plug jewelry.
This recall involves ear plug jewelry that is designed to be inserted into a pierced ear lobe and used to stretch the piercing in the ear lobe. The ear plug jewelry contains a coin-cell battery that lights up a decorative pattern.
The ear plugs have a diamond logo on the front and come in the colors black/white and black/red. They were sold in sizes 00, 0, ½, 5/8, 7/16 and 9/16.
The jewelry, manufactured in China, was sold exclusively at Spencer Gifts stores nationwide from November 2014, through February 2015, for about $20.
Consumers should immediately stop wearing the recalled ear plug jewelry and contact SalesOne for a full refund or replacement ear plug that does not contain a battery and does not light up.
Consumers may contact SalesOne toll-free at 866-507-2537 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday or online at Salesone.org and click on “Recalls” at the top of the homepage for more information.
