Other safety notices were issued last week after Argos were forced to recall popular LED light strips after selling thousands across the country.
The RED5 2M LED Light Strips were sold in Ireland were found to have a faulty battery compartment in the remote.
This led to the battery compartment of the remote not locking in some cases which allows for easy access to the dangerous battery.
If ingested, the battery could cause serious burns to internal organs.
The affected products were manufactured between June - August 2021 and were available from Argos, and other distributors.
There are around 3,428 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
If you purchased one of these products, the CCPC have urged you to "discontinue use immediately", and return it to your local Argos store for a full refund. A receipt will not be required.
