This press release consists of two recalls. Please choose the appropriate recall below.

  • Toy flashlights - Sonca Products Ltd., of Hong Kong, is voluntarily recalling about 5,500 toy flashlights because the spring in the flashlight's battery compartment can dislodge, causing the batteries to overheat or leak.
