CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Petgravity Cat Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death to Children from Ingestion Hazard; Violations of Federal Regulations for Consumer Products...

WASHINGTON, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using the Petgravity Smart Interactive Car Toys, which are advertised as cat toys. The cat toys violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries because the remote control for the cat toy includes a lithium coin battery which can be easily accessed by children, posing an ingestion hazard. In addition, the products and their packaging do not bear the required warnings.

Reese's Law and CPSC's implementing regulations establish performance and warning label requirements for consumer products with button cell or coin batteries to protect children from life threatening ingestion. If a child swallows a button cell or coin battery, it can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns or death.

CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, LYsolcusnee Guangzhoulinlikejiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Sanchio Store and LYsolcusnee. Sanchio Store has not agreed to offer a remedy to consumers.

The cat toys were sold on Amazon.com from March 2024 through November 2024 for between $12 and $17. The cat toys are sold in orange and blue. "PETGRAVITY Smart Interactive Car Toy" is printed on the top of the packaging. The products include an automatic car toy, remote control, feather accessory, tail rod, charging cable and a preinstalled CR2032 lithium battery in the remote control. These products may have also been sold by other sellers.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the cat toys immediately and dispose of them. Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous. When disposing of or recycling button cell or coin batteries, do so in a manner that follows local hazardous waste procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous cat toys.
