Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports of a child-safety defect in Sig Sauer ROMEO5 red-dot sights. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a January 8 recall of ~230,000 units after finding the battery cap violates Reese’s Law, allowing children to easily twist it open and access button-cell batteries.
Widespread Safety Concerns Over Sig Sauer Red-Dot Sights
Despite the recall, consumers report purchasing units after February 2023 that still lacked child-resistant packaging or warnings. Parents and gun owners alike have raised concerns across online forums about unsafe battery compartments in products commonly stored in homes.
Common Problems Reported by Consumers:
-
Battery caps that twist off without tools or resistance
-
Risk of children ingesting button-cell batteries
-
Units sold post-recall without adequate warnings
-
Lack of compliance with federal child-safety standards
