CPSC Urges Consumers to Stop Using Akavivo Submersible LED Lights Over Deadly Battery Risk

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued an urgent safety warning for consumers to immediately stop using Akavivo Submersible LED Lights due to a serious risk of battery ingestion leading to life-threatening injury or death. 

According to the CPSC, the LED lights contain lithium coin batteries that can be easily accessed by children, creating a significant ingestion hazard. These products violate mandatory federal safety standards designed to protect young children from the dangers of button cell and coin batteries. If swallowed, these batteries can cause internal chemical burns, severe injuries, or death. 

The warning covers around 14,450 sets of Akavivo Submersible LED Lights sold primarily on Amazon from March through November 2025 for approximately $20. The sets include ten color-changing lights and remote controls, all powered by CR2032 lithium coin batteries. 

The CPSC has issued a formal Notice of Violation to the seller, Huizhou Ousheng Technology Co., Ltd., doing business as Akavivo. The company has not agreed to recall the lights or offer any remedy to consumers. 

Consumers are advised to stop using the lights immediately and dispose of them safely according to local hazardous waste guidelines. The agency also warns against selling or giving the lights away due to the extreme safety risk. 

Parents and caregivers are reminded that coin and button batteries pose a severe hazard to children and should be kept well out of reach. Any incidents or safety concerns can be reported to CPSC’s SaferProducts.gov database.
