SLIDING DOORS AND WINDOWS RECALLED; BATTERIES POSE SWALLOW HAZARD
Pella Reserve and Lifestyle Sliding Patio Doors and Lifestyle Windows
The recalled products violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries because the sliding doors’ sensor panel and the windows’ remote control have button cell batteries that can be easily accessed by children. This poses an ingestion hazard. In addition, the recalled products do not have the required warnings. When button cell batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.
