Holosun Technologies Inc., of City of Industry, California, is recalling about 9,400
Holosun Firearm Dot Sights because they violate the mandatory federal regulations for consumer products containing button cell or coin batteries. The product’s lithium coin battery can be easily accessed, posing an ingestion hazard. The battery is not in child-resistant packaging as required by Reese’s Law, and the dot sights do not bear the required warnings. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 25-143 (Feb. 20, 2025)).
Incidents and injuries. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
Product description. This recall involves Holosun Firearm Dot Sights: Red Dot Sights (Model HS503G-ACSS) and Gold Dot Sight (Model HE512C-GD). The dot sights are an accessory that attaches to a firearm and produces an illuminated color dot for precision aiming. They are labeled with the product name and model on the packaging sleeve, box, manual, and product display panel. The product includes the dot sight in matte black color, one packaged CR2032 lithium coin battery, and the manual.
The dot sights were manufactured in China and were sold at Primary Arms, EuroOptic, GRITR Sports, Davidson’s, MidwayUSA, Carolina Sporting Arms, Palmetto State Armory and other stores nationwide, and online at opticsplanet.com from February 2023 through August 2024 for between $250 and $350, depending on the model.
Remedy. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Firearm Dot Sights and place them in an area that children cannot access. Contact Holosun Technologies for instructions on receiving a free recall kit which includes a battery compartment enclosure with the required labeling and an updated instruction manual for HS503G-ACSS models. For HE512C-GD models, Holosun Technologies will provide free return shipping to install a compliant battery compartment tray and include a compliant instruction manual and new packaging. Holosun Technologies is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Note: Button cell and coin batteries are hazardous and should be disposed of or recycled by following local procedures for hazardous household waste, not in the trash.
