Holosun Technologies Recalls Firearm Dot Sights Over Battery Ingestion Hazard

Holosun Technologies has issued a recall for approximately 9,400 units of its Red and Gold Firearm Dot Sights due to a potential safety hazard involving lithium coin batteries. The affected models, HS503G-ACSS and HE512C-GD, do not comply with federal regulations under Reese’s Law, which mandates child-resistant packaging and warning labels for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. The accessible battery compartments pose a risk of ingestion, which can lead to serious internal injuries or fatalities.

Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled dot sights immediately and store them out of reach of children. Holosun Technologies is offering a free recall kit for HS503G-ACSS models that includes an updated battery compartment enclosure and compliant labeling. Owners of the HE512C-GD model can return their product for a battery compartment upgrade, compliant packaging, and an updated instruction manual. The company is reaching out to all known purchasers directly.

No injuries have been reported related to this recall. The affected firearm dot sights were sold through retailers such as Primary Arms, MidwayUSA, Palmetto State Armory, and other nationwide outlets, including online marketplaces, between February 2023 and August 2024. Prices ranged from $250 to $350, depending on the model. The products were imported by Holosun Technologies Inc., based in City of Industry, California, and manufactured in China.
