Lifetime Brands Recalls BUILT LUUM Light Up Tumblers Due to Risk of Choking and Battery Ingestion Hazards

March 19, 2026 from the CPSC : (pictures on CPSC page)

BUILT LUUM Tumblers have been recalled because the recalled LED tumblers can break, making the button cell batteries accessible to children and posing choking and ingestion hazards. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

Consumer Contact: Lifetime Brands toll-free at 888-561-2269 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at Recall@Builtny.com, or online at https://www.builtny.com/pages/recall or www.builtny.com and click “Recall” at the bottom of the page for more information.

Description: This recall involves the LUUM collection of BUILT-branded light up tumblers. The recalled plastic 16 oz. or 18 oz. drinking cups with a lid and a straw were sold in various winter holiday and Fourth of July themes. The tumblers have a bottom compartment containing a LED light that has a preinstalled button cell battery. “lumm,” the tumbler’s theme name and the following corresponding item numbers and UPC codes are printed on a label located on the tumblers’ underside or hangtag. A full list of recalled products is here

Remedy: Consumers should stop using the recalled tumblers immediately, place them in an area that children cannot access and properly dispose of the battery. Contact Lifetime Brands for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to throw the piece with the LED light away and upload a photo of the product in the trash when completing a Product Recall Refund Form at https://www.builtny.com/pages/recall.
Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

Sold At: Kroger, Hy-Vee, Meijer, Nordstrom Rack and Winn-Dixie stores nationwide and online at Builtny.com from October 2024 through December 2025 for between $10 and $15.
