Safety Standard for Button Cell or Coin Batteries and Consumer Products Containing Such Batteries
In February 2023, as required by Reese's Law, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to eliminate or adequately reduce the risk of injury from ingestion of button cell or coin batteries by children six years old and younger.

The Commission is publishing this determination, as required by Reese's Law, as well as a direct final rule to incorporate the voluntary standard by reference into our regulations. Consumer products subject to performance and labeling requirements in this direct final rule must be tested and certified as compliant with the direct final rule.
