And the label doesn’t say anything about it, doesn’t have the “don’t throw in the trash” logo.

Those LEDs are glued in, there’s no way to remove batteries before discarding the item

      Even if they were all properly recycled, which isn’t going to happen, this product still shouldn’t be sold. We don’t need any more consumables with large ecological impact. Recycling isn’t doing nearly enough to balance out the damage.

      As long as people keep buying this shit and the industry succeeds in calling this a consumer problem, nothing will change. The onus needs to be on the manufacturer and doing wasteful shit like this needs to cost them dearly.

        You need political regulations for this type of shit. There’s just way too many people who just don’t care.
