On August 6, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a developing recall of EEMB Lithium-ion Coin Battery Chargers with Rechargeable 2032 Batteries. The recall, numbered , was initiated by . database entries show no previous enforcement actions for the firm. The recall involves model SKLC-0420-0040, which includes a charger, four rechargeable 2032 lithium-ion batteries, and a USB cable. The brand name "EEMB" is printed on the front of the charger, and model number "SKLC-0420-0040" is printed on the back. According to reference data from Wikipedia, 2032 coin cells are squat, round batteries measuring roughly 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick that power low-drain devices such as watches and key fobs. According to the recall notice, the chargers violate mandatory standards for consumer products containing coin batteries because the lithium coin batteries inside are easily accessible to children. The provided batteries are not in child-resistant packaging and lack required warnings under Reese's Law. Ingested button cell or coin batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death. No injuries have been reported. The advises consumers to stop using the charger immediately, remove the batteries, and place them in an area children cannot access. Consumers should contact A2batt to receive a full refund and will be asked to write "RECALL" on the charger. If batteries remain in packaging, consumers should dispose of them according to local hazardous waste procedures and email a photo of the disposal to info@a2batt.com.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
