Amazon-sold light-up costume recall: check accessories and returns

A newly announced recall of CIYTI light-up princess costumes sold on Amazon puts product identification and accessory safety on the seller agenda. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s October 22 notice says children can easily access the button-cell batteries, creating a potentially fatal ingestion hazard and violating the mandatory toy safety standard. This is a specific product recall, not an announcement of a new Amazon-wide policy. Official recall notice.

What the recall covers

The notice covers about 94 costumes sold on Amazon from February through June 2025 for $21 to $35. The set includes a blue dress, light-up crown and wand, and a remote control. CPSC says the crown, wand and remote contain button batteries; the products have no markings, while the packaging carries the CIYTI name. No incidents or injuries were reported in the notice. Product identification and sales details.

CPSC directs consumers to stop using the costumes, take them away from children and contact the named seller for a full refund. The notice specifies marking and disposal-photo steps, with batteries handled under local hazardous-waste procedures. Customer-service teams should link customers to those exact instructions rather than substitute a routine return process. Remedy instructions.

Operator analysis: inspect the whole set

Our recommendation is to match supplier records, packaging images and included accessories against the official notice before deciding which stock is affected. A listing title alone is a weak identification method when the physical product has no markings. Do not extend this recall to unrelated costumes without evidence.

For matching goods, quarantine available stock and block resale through returns, liquidation or alternate listings. CPSC states that federal law prohibits selling products subject to a Commission-ordered recall or a voluntary recall conducted with the agency. The operational implication is to connect the recall decision to inventory controls, not just remove advertising. CPSC notice and resale warning.

For other battery-powered costume bundles, use this event as a review prompt: ask the compliance owner to check the complete set, including handheld accessories and remotes, against applicable requirements and supporting test documentation. This is a preventive recommendation, not a claim that those other products are unsafe. Keep the affected-item decision, supplier response and customer-service guidance together so warehouse and support teams act on the same evidence.
