Reese’s Law introduces strict federal safety requirements for any consumer product that uses button-cell or coin batteries. The regulation, outlined in CPSC 16 CFR Part 1263 and supported by UL 4200A, aims to prevent child ingestion by mandating secure, child-resistant battery compartments, clear product and packaging warnings, and performance testing to ensure batteries cannot be accessed during normal use or foreseeable misuse. Products and standalone batteries must meet new construction, labeling, and packaging rules before being sold or imported into the U.S., with mandatory certification now required. Brands using button-cell batteries should review product design and compliance documentation to avoid recalls, delays, or enforcement.
