Yoto is reannouncing its recall of the Yoto Mini, a card-operated audio speaker for children ages 3 to 12 sold at us.yotoplay.com, Amazon, Target, Maisonette and toy and gift stores. The speaker's lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire, posing burn and fire hazards; a full battery replacement kit is now available.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled speakers, take them away from children and contact Yoto to receive a free battery replacement kit. Consumers should request the battery replacement kit even if they already received the smart cable in the April 2024 recall. Consumers should dispose of lithium-ion batteries in accordance with local and state regulations and not in the trash.
