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.
