What’s the Problem?
On December 4, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of about 10,380 KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys because they violate the mandatory federal standard for toys.
According to the recall, the screw used to secure the battery compartment that contains a button cell battery does not remain attached as required, meaning children can access and potentially swallow the battery. When button cell or coin batteries are ingested, they can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death, often within hours.
Latest Updates
- December 4, 2025 – CPSC issues Recall No. 26-131 for KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys due to a loose battery-compartment screw and the resulting risk of serious injury or death from button cell battery ingestion. [1]
Product & Usage Overview
The KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy Recall Lawsuit involves KTEBO-branded Writing Tablet Toys sold in sets of two. The recalled toys came in four color combinations—pink/blue, green/yellow, orange/blue, and purple/red—and were sold in two sizes (8.5 inches and 10 inches). Each tablet includes a matching-colored stylus and is marketed as a reusable drawing or writing surface for children.
The products were sold online at Amazon.com from September 2025 through October 2025 for between 8 and 30 dollars. They were manufactured in China and imported/retailered by Banghe Guangzhou International Trade Co., Ltd., doing business as KTEBO, of China. Parents likely purchased these toys as educational or entertainment tools, not realizing that the battery compartment screw might loosen and release a hazardous button cell battery.
Injuries & Risks
Although the recall reports no known incidents or injuries as of December 4, 2025, the safety risks associated with loose button cell batteries are severe. When a child swallows a button or coin battery, it can become lodged in the esophagus or digestive tract, reacting with bodily fluids in a way that generates caustic substances and causes serious internal burns. These injuries can occur quickly and may lead to permanent damage or death if not identified and treated immediately.
Potential harms include:
- Internal chemical burns to the esophagus, stomach, or intestines from a lodged button cell battery.
- Severe internal bleeding, perforation, or infection requiring emergency surgery or intensive medical care.
- Long-term complications or death if ingestion is not promptly recognized and treated.

Damages You May Be Able to Recover
Depending on the facts of your case, compensation in a KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy Recall Lawsuit may include:
- Medical expenses for emergency care, diagnostic tests, hospital stays, surgery, and follow-up treatment.
- Future medical monitoring or care for long-term complications from internal burns or scarring.
- Pain and suffering and emotional distress experienced by the child and family members during and after the incident.
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity if a parent or guardian missed work to provide care or attend medical appointments.
- Out-of-pocket costs related to the recalled toys, including replacement of products and related safety measures in the home.
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
Claims arising from the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy recall may rely on several legal theories, including:
- Defective design: Alleging that the toy’s battery compartment and screw mechanism were defectively designed, allowing a button cell battery to become accessible to children in violation of the mandatory standard for toys.
- Violation of mandatory safety standards: The CPSC has explicitly stated that the toys violate the federal toy standard, supporting arguments that the product is unreasonably dangerous as sold.
- Strict product liability: Asserting that the toy was placed into the stream of commerce in a defective and hazardous condition that caused or could cause serious harm.
- Failure to warn: Claiming that parents were not provided with adequate warnings about the risk of battery access and ingestion, particularly in light of the loose screw design.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Product liability and child injury claims must be filed within specific deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, which vary by state and can range from one to several years.
Some states provide additional time when minors are involved, but delay can still make it harder to preserve evidence, obtain records, and identify responsible parties.
Because KTEBO’s recall process calls for marking the toys “RECALLED” and submitting photos before replacement, it is wise to document the product thoroughly and consult an attorney before discarding key evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there a class action for the KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy recall?
The CPSC recall notice focuses on a free replacement remedy and does not mention any existing class action, but families with injuries or significant losses may still pursue individual claims. If many similar cases arise, attorneys or courts may consider class or consolidated litigation options. - What should I do if I still have these KTEBO writing tablets?
According to the recall, you should immediately stop using the toys, keep them away from children, write “RECALLED” on the back of both tablet toys, take a photo of the marked toys, and email the photos to writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com with “Recall Proof” and your name in the subject line to obtain a free replacement set. Button cell batteries should be disposed of or recycled according to local hazardous waste guidelines. - What if my child may have swallowed a button battery?
The recall emphasizes that swallowed button or coin batteries can cause serious internal injuries and death; immediate medical attention is critical. If you suspect battery ingestion, contact emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department right away and tell providers about the suspected exposure.
