Recent CPSC actions on a floor pump, a bike light set and e-bike chargers, the federal coin-cell rule, and which standards cover bicycles rather than accessories.

Short answer
Search CPSC's and Health Canada's recall lists by maker and model before you use a secondhand pump or light, and follow any remedy in the notice. Coin-cell products made or imported since October 23, 2023 must meet a federal rule on secured compartments and warnings. None of our sources names a safety standard for standalone bike accessories.
Recent regulator actions
Lezyne Pressure Over Drive floor pumps. In November 2025, CPSC announced a recall of Lezyne Pressure Over Drive and Digital Pressure Over Drive floor pumps because the canister can forcefully eject from the base when pressurized.[1] The recall (26-078, November 6, 2025) covers only pumps with a bleed valve on the front of the base, about 7,500 units in the US. CPSC lists one report of serious facial injuries. Health Canada lists 675 units in Canada.[2] Lezyne's own notice gives the manufacturing dates as February 2016 to December 2021.[3] If you own one, stop using it and follow the recall notice.
Malker bicycle light sets. In April 2026, CPSC announced a recall of about 7,000 Malker bicycle light sets sold on Amazon. Children could easily reach their CR2032 coin cells, and the products lacked the warnings the federal button-cell rule requires.[4] CPSC reported no incidents; the remedy is a refund.
SafPow and AMPOWSURE chargers. In September 2024, CPSC warned consumers to stop using SafPow and AMPOWSURE chargers for 36-volt micromobility batteries because of fire and burn hazards.[5] These are e-bike and scooter chargers, not bike light chargers.
The coin-cell rule
CPSC's button and coin battery rule, 16 CFR part 1263, covers consumer products that contain or are designed to use those batteries.[6] It incorporates UL 4200A-2023 and applies to products made or imported on or after October 23, 2023. Compartments holding replaceable cells must need a tool, or two independent and simultaneous hand movements, to open.[6] Warnings are required on the packaging, on the product if practicable, and in the instructions.
Some bike lights use coin cells by design. CatEye's ORB rear light runs on two CR2032 cells rather than a rechargeable battery.[7] Using coin cells does not make a product non-compliant; the rule is about how the compartment and warnings are made.
Which standards cover what
| Standard or rule | What it covers | What it does not cover |
|---|---|---|
| 16 CFR part 1512 | Bicycles themselves, excluding track and one-of-a-kind bicycles | Aftermarket accessories |
| UL 2849 and UL 2272 | Electrical systems of e-bikes and personal e-mobility devices | Standalone lights or pumps |
| FCC authorization | Radio devices before they are marketed in the US | Electrical or battery safety |
The federal bicycle rule sets requirements for bicycles, not accessories.[8] CPSC's guidance says its definition includes low-speed e-bikes under 750 W and 20 mph.[9] UL 2849 is UL's standard for e-bike electrical systems, and UL 2272 covers personal e-mobility devices such as hoverboards.[10] Under FCC rules, intentional radiators such as Bluetooth devices must generally be authorized before they are marketed in the US.[11] Radio authorization is not electrical or battery safety certification.
Canada
The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits manufacturers and importers from making, importing, advertising or selling a consumer product that is a danger to human health or safety.[12] For plug-in chargers, Health Canada advises a recognized certification mark such as CSA, cUL or cETL.[13]
How to check a product
- Find the exact maker and model on the product or its box.
- Search CPSC's recalls and Health Canada's recalls and safety alerts for both.
- If it matches, stop using it and follow the notice's remedy.
- If you are replacing a recalled floor pump, check any new model the same way.
Picks that fit2 products
If you are replacing a floor pump, choose the Topeak JoeBlow Sport III (TJB-S6) or the Park Tool PFP-10.
More on choosing
Neither is a Lezyne pump; still search CPSC for any model you buy. On Amazon, check that 'Ships from / Sold by' shows Amazon.com or the brand.

Questions
Has my bike pump or light been recalled?
Search CPSC's recall list and Health Canada's recalls database by maker and model. Recent examples include Lezyne Pressure Over Drive floor pumps (November 2025) and Malker bicycle light sets (April 2026).[1][4]
Are coin-cell bike lights safe around children?
We cannot rate a product. What the federal rule requires is clear: for products made or imported on or after October 23, 2023, compartments holding replaceable coin cells must need a tool or two simultaneous hand movements to open, with warnings on the packaging and in the instructions.[6]
