Reese’s Law was signed by President Biden on August 16, 2022 and as of March 19, 2024 all products that incorporate button batteries or coin cell batteries must comply with UL 4200A as the safety standard for performance and labeling per 16 CFR 1263. The intent of this law is to reduce the risk of injury from the ingestion of button cell or coin cell batteries by children six years or younger.
Per UL 4200A products that contain these battery types or are designed to use these battery types must:
- Have compartments that hold such batteries be secured such that they require a tool or at least two independent hand movements to open
- These compartments cannot be accessed or the batteries contained therein accessed as a result of repeated use and abuse
- The packaging must contain a warning label
- The product itself must contain a warning label
- Manuals and instructions must include all applicable warnings.
