If you shop at Target, there's a recall of Halloween decorations that you'll want to know about.

The retailer is recalling about 127,000 Halloween-themed LED gel clings that come with two non-replaceable button cell batteries. The gel clings are for window use and light up when you push them.

According to a notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the gel clings can separate and expose the inner decal and LED/button battery compartment. This can pose choking and button battery ingestion hazards to children, officials said.

The six different gel cling designs are a green skeleton, pink skeleton, purple spider, black cat, orange pumpkin and black bat. Model number 234-25-0904 is printed on the packaging.

Here's what one of the gel clings looks like:

If you have these gel clings, you should remove them from areas with children and return them to a Target store for a full refund. The items, which were made in China, sold for about $1.
