Stop Use Immediately – CPSC Issues Warning on Siuholi Fairy Lights Over Child Safety Concerns

Consumers are being urged to immediately stop using certain decorative string lights sold under the Siuholi brand, following a safety alert issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The lights, which contain lithium coin batteries in an accessible compartment, pose a serious ingestion hazard to children and are not compliant with federal safety regulations.

The warning affects Siuholi Fairy Light Packs sold online through Amazon.com since March 2024. Available in sets of 6, 12, and 18, the lights are powered by button cell batteries located in a power switch that can be easily opened by a child. The products also lack the necessary cautionary labeling required under federal rules, specifically those set by Reese’s Law, which mandates strict safety and labeling standards for consumer products using button or coin batteries to prevent life-threatening injuries.

The CPSC has identified Taizhouduoshengdianzikejiyouxian Gongsi, operating as Siuholi and based in China, as the responsible party for the noncompliant product. The agency stated that Siuholi has not agreed to offer a remedy for the violation, such as refunds, replacements, or safety corrections. The affected lights, which retail for between $5 and $10 depending on the pack size, are seven feet long and sold in various colors including white, warm white, multicolor, and pastel tones. The product model number HY100100-20 and the brand name “SIUHOLI” are printed on the packaging.

CPSC advises that the lights be taken out of use and disposed of following local hazardous waste guidelines, due to the risks associated with the coin batteries. Consumers are strongly warned not to resell or donate the items. Any incidents or injuries involving these products should be reported at www.SaferProducts.gov to aid further investigation and enforcement efforts.
