KTEBO Writing Tablet Toys, sold in sets of two with a stylus on Amazon.com, have been recalled. The screw securing the button cell battery compartment does not stay attached as the mandatory toy standard requires, and swallowed button batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled writing tablet toys and contact KTEBO for a free replacement set of tablet toys. Consumers should write "RECALLED" on the back of both tablet toys that came in the set, take a photo of the marked tablet toys, and submit the photos to writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com with "Recall Proof" and their name in the subject line. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

Contact: KTEBO via email at writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com.
