Battery packaging flaw triggers recall of Holosun's firearm dot sights

Holosun Technologies, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has recalled approximately 22,600 firearm dot sights. This voluntary recall affects the Red Dot Sight (Model HS503G-ACSS) and Gold Dot Sight (Model HE512C-GD).

The packaging for the included CR2032 coin battery does not meet child-resistant requirements, creating a battery ingestion hazard. The issue was identified during compliance checks related to Reese’s Law.

These products were sold across various retail channels throughout the United States. Holosun has removed the affected items from distribution and is offering replacement packaging that meets federal guidelines.
