KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy on December 4, 2025, under Recall No. 26-131, after finding that the toys failed a required safety rule. The recall remains open, with no closure announced yet. KTEBO sold the toy in sets of two, in four color pairs and two sizes, through Amazon.com. A loose battery-compartment screw can expose a button cell battery, a serious swallowing hazard for young children. Parents who own this toy should stop letting children use it right away. KTEBO asks owners to mark the tablets “RECALLED,” photograph them, and email the photo for a free replacement set.

December 4, 2025: CPSC Recalls the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy

A CPSC recall notice covers about 10,380 KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys sold on Amazon.com [1]. The notice states that the toys violate the mandatory federal safety standard for toys. The recall applies to a battery-compartment screw that can come loose. If the compartment opens, a child could swallow the button cell battery inside, which is dangerous. No injuries have been reported.

Which KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys Are Affected?

The recalled KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys can be identified by the following details from the recall notice:

• Sets of two KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys, sold together and not individually, each pair matching in color and size.
• Four color pairs: pink and blue, green and yellow, orange and blue, and purple and red.
• Two sizes, an 8.5-inch tablet pair and a 10-inch tablet pair, each sold as its own set.
• Every set includes a stylus that matches the tablets’ color, used to draw on the screen.
• The recall notice lists no printed model, lot, or serial number; match your set by color, size, and stylus instead.

KTEBO, a brand used by Banghe Guangzhou International Trade Co., Ltd., sold every affected set exclusively on Amazon.com. If your set matches the colors and sizes above, treat it as part of this recall even without a printed code.

Why Were the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys Recalled?

The KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys were recalled because they failed a required federal toy safety standard. The screw that secures the battery compartment does not stay attached as required. That failure can let the compartment open and expose the button cell battery inside. Button cell batteries are dangerous to swallow, since they can burn through soft tissue. If a child swallows one, the battery can lodge in the esophagus, where an electrical current can form and burn tissue within about two hours, according to the National Capital Poison Center [2]. The recall notice does not explain how CPSC identified the defect or when the screw problem was first reported to the agency.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The recall notice reports no injuries connected to the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy. No incident involving a swallowed or exposed battery had been logged as of the notice’s December 4, 2025 publication. These are general risks tied to button batteries generally, not confirmed facts about this specific product. Reports are not proof that the product caused every incident. Regulators still ordered the recall despite zero injury reports so far. Parents who think a child may have swallowed one of these batteries should seek emergency care right away, even without symptoms yet, since the battery can cause harm quickly once lodged.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you own a recalled KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy, take the following steps:

1. Stop letting anyone use the recalled KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy right away, since the battery compartment can open and expose a button cell battery.
2. Write “RECALLED” on the back of both tablet toys in the set so the toy is not used again by mistake.
3. Take a clear photo of both tablets with “RECALLED” visible on each one.
4. Email the photo to writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com with “Recall Proof” and your name in the subject line to receive a free replacement set.
5. Dispose of or recycle the button cell battery through your local hazardous-waste program rather than the regular trash.
6. Report the recall at SaferProducts.gov, or call the federal safety hotline at 800-638-2772, if you have questions or want to file a report.
7. Watch for signs of battery ingestion and call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline right away if you suspect one.

Legal Options

A defective-product claim could follow if a child was harmed by the battery defect, since the notice found the toys “violate the mandatory standard for toys.” Even so, a recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. No lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict case has been filed over the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy recall. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) lists no KTEBO case [3].

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a product-injury claim come from state law, not from this recall notice. They set how long an injured family has to bring a case. The deadline that applies depends on where the injury happened, where the family lives, and when the injury and any diagnosis occurred. Missing a filing deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong, so a lawyer should confirm the deadline that applies before too much time passes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy Recall Still Active?

Yes, the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy recall is still active. As of September 25, 2026, the CPSC notice for Recall No. 26-131 shows no closure, expansion, or reannouncement, so affected sets should still be replaced through KTEBO’s process.

When and Where Was the Recalled KTEBO Set Sold?

KTEBO sold the recalled Writing Tablet Toy sets only on Amazon.com, between September and October 2025, at prices ranging from about $8 to $30 per set, according to the CPSC recall notice.

Does the KTEBO Recall Mean I Can File a Lawsuit?

A recall does not automatically mean you can file a lawsuit. Whether a claim is possible depends on facts like whether a battery was actually swallowed, what injuries resulted, and when they happened. Only an individual review can confirm that.

What Are the Symptoms of Button Battery Ingestion?

The symptoms of button battery ingestion include fever, stomach pain, vomiting, or blood in a child’s stool. More than 3,500 people swallow button batteries in the United States every year. If you suspect one, call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 1-800-498-8666 right away.

What Are the CPSC Hotline’s Hours for This Recall?

The CPSC hotline for this recall operates weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. A separate TTY line, 800-638-8270, serves hearing-impaired callers during those same hours. Outside them, consumers can still file a report online at any time.

How Common Is Button Battery Ingestion in Children?

Button battery ingestion is not rare. Worldwide, the National Capital Poison Center estimates that 3,000 to 8,000 people suffer serious complications or die from swallowed batteries. That scale is why regulators treat a loose battery compartment, like the one in this recall, as a serious hazard.
