But the CPSC said two children were able to get to the battery in the light-up rings. One child swallowed it; the other child put the battery up his nose.

There were no reported incidents with the toy eyeglasses.

Chuck E. Cheese operates more than 500 centers in 48 states and six countries, its website said.
