Apple Updates AirTag Packaging and Software to Comply with Child Safety Law

The changes address violations of Reese's Law, requiring warnings about the dangers of coin-cell batteries to children.

  • Apple added warning labels to AirTag packaging and inside the battery compartment to comply with Reese's Law, which took effect in March 2024.
  • Reese's Law mandates warning labels on devices with coin-cell batteries to prevent child injuries or deaths from battery ingestion.
  • The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a Notice of Violation to Apple for initially failing to meet these requirements.
  • Apple updated the Find My app to display warnings about coin-cell battery hazards when users are prompted to replace an AirTag battery.
  • It remains unclear whether these updates apply globally or are limited to AirTags sold in the United States.
