The 20-page lawsuit centers around a February 2025 recall of Holosun Red Dot Sights, model HS503G-ACSS, and Holosun Gold Dot Sights, model HE512C-GD, sold from February 2023 through August 2024 for between $250 and $350.

The complaint accuses Holosun of violating Reese’s Law, named in memory of an 18-month-old child who died after swallowing a button battery. Enacted in 2022, the federal law strengthens safety standards by requiring child-resistant closures on products containing button cell or coin batteries and ensuring that packaging contains proper warnings of the risks of ingestion.

According to the case, the packaging for the recalled dot sights lacks the required warning about a potential battery ingestion hazard. The Holosun lawsuit further contends that the battery is not properly enclosed in child-resistant packaging, allowing easy access to the component.

Per the suit, Holosun’s failure to include secure battery compartments and provide an adequate warning label poses a “grave risk of harm” to gun owners’ children and pets, as accidental ingestion can cause significant injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) recall announcement, issued on February 20, 2025, describes the dot sight as a firearm accessory intended to assist with precision aiming. The CPSC has urged consumers to immediately stop using the recalled Holosun firearm dot sights and keep the products away from children.

The plaintiff, a Texas resident who bought two of Holosun’s recalled dot sights, claims he and other consumers are entitled to full refunds and financial damages for being exposed to such dangers. The man said he would have paid significantly less for the dot sights, or would not have bought them at all, had he known the product presented a dangerous ingestion hazard.

The CPSC notice indicates that the Holosun firearm dot sight recall is providing affected consumers with replacements.

“Contact Holosun Technologies for instructions on receiving a free recall kit which includes a battery compartment enclosure with the required labeling and an updated instruction manual for HS503G-ACSS models,” the CPSC recall announcement reads. “For HE512C-GD models, Holosun Technologies will provide free return shipping to install a compliant battery compartment tray and include a compliant instruction manual and new packaging.”

The lawsuit looks to represent all individuals who purchased a Holosun Red or Gold Dot Sight, models HS503G-ACSS and HE512C-GD, in the United States between February 2023 and August 2024.
