Children’s Water Toy Kits Recalled Due to Serious Ingestion Hazard

Approximately 2,240 Kori Gey Water Elf Toy Kits have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) due to a serious risk of injury or death from battery ingestion. The toy kits, sold online by Qaniy, violate mandatory safety standards for toys containing button cell batteries.

The recalled Kori Gey Water Elf Toy Kits are designed as a craft for children to create jelly-like figures by dropping colored gel into water. Each kit includes various items such as bottles of water gel, molds, a strainer, magic powder, a paintbrush, gloves, and a crucial component: an LED light powered by a button cell battery. The toy sets are packaged in a plastic jar with a lid, and the front of the packaging is labeled with “Kori Gey” and “Water Elf Kit.”

The primary safety concern identified by the CPSC is the easily accessible battery compartment within the LED light. This design flaw means that young children can readily open the compartment and access the button cell battery. Swallowing button cell or coin batteries is extremely dangerous, as they can cause severe internal chemical burns and can be fatal. No incidents or injuries related to this specific recall have been reported at this time.

Consumers who have purchased these toy kits are instructed to immediately remove the light-up component containing the button cell battery from the toy and take it away from children. The battery should be removed and disposed of according to local hazardous waste procedures. To receive a full refund, consumers must contact Qaniy via email at changshaaoyuan@outlook.com. As part of the refund process, consumers are asked to discard the LED light component by throwing it in the trash and to send a photograph of the discarded item to the provided email address.

The Kori Gey Water Elf Toy Kits were sold on Amazon.com between March 2025 and July 2025 for approximately $30. The products were manufactured in China.

This recall serves as a reminder for consumers to be aware of the potential hazards associated with small toys and electronic components, particularly those containing button cell batteries. Parents and guardians are encouraged to regularly inspect children’s toys for damage and to ensure that battery compartments are securely fastened.
