Argos Ireland is recalling a popular product already bought by thousands of customers after safety issues were identified.
Around 3,428 of the affected lighting products are believed to be in Ireland.
The RED5 2M LED Light Strips being recalled were manufactured between June and August 2021.
A safety issue has been identified with the affected products where in some cases, the battery compartment of the remote does not lock, allowing easy access to the battery compartment.
If ingested, the battery can cause burns to the internal organs.
The products were available from Argos and from other distributors, with people urged to stop using the recalled lights immediately.
The recall was issued by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission on Friday.
