Kakgold recalled about 294 remote-controlled stunt vehicle toys on Nov. 12 because of a battery ingestion hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The remote controls violate the mandatory safety requirements for toys because they contain easily accessible button cell and lithium-ion batteries, the agency said. According to the CPSC, swallowed button cell or coin batteries can cause severe injuries, internal chemical burns, and death. No injuries or incidents related to the vehicles have been reported.
The recalled Kakgold 4WD stunt vehicles have a lime green and blue exterior, a black chassis, and four black wheels featuring diagonal rollers and lime green trim. The cars display checkered patterns, an “X” design, and the words “PRO” and “RACING.” A white hang tag attached to the vehicle body reads “Do Not Twist the Shaft” in red lettering, alongside illustrations marked with red crosses.
The toys were manufactured in China, and the retailer is Shenzhenshi Juteng Lechuang Technology Co. Ltd., doing business as Kakgold, the CPSC said. They were sold on Amazon.com from July 2026 through September 2026 for between $34 and $50. Consumers should stop using the remote-controlled cars immediately and contact Kakgold by email to receive a full refund, the recall notice said.
To get the refund, consumers will be asked to write “RECALLED” on the product and email a photograph to the company showing the toy properly disposed of in the trash. The recall note states, “Button cell batteries are hazardous.” The agency advised that batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.
The CPSC is a federal agency responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks linked to thousands of consumer products. According to the commission, consumer product-related incidents cost the United States more than $1 trillion annually in deaths, injuries, and property damage. Federal law bans anyone from selling items subject to a mandatory recall or a voluntary recall conducted alongside the CPSC.
