flag The Wiggles likely broke Australian law by selling a headband with button batteries without safety warnings, leading to a recall and new safety efforts.

flag The Wiggles have admitted to likely breaching Australian consumer law by selling the Emma Bow headband from June 2022 to March 2024 without proper warnings about the danger of button batteries, which can cause severe injury or death if swallowed by young children. flag The product, sold at concerts, retailers, and online, was recalled in August 2024 after the ACCC found the lack of warnings violated safety standards. flag The group and manufacturer CA Australia agreed to corrective actions, including creating a podcast episode on button battery risks. flag The ACCC emphasized the urgency of safety warnings, noting around 200 Australian children are exposed annually, with at least a dozen suffering serious harm. flag This follows a separate lawsuit by the group’s former CEO, whom The Wiggles say was dismissed due to performance issues and lost trust.
