The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued several recall announcements for children’s toys that were sold on Amazon in the months leading up to Christmas.
Newsweek has compiled a list of these recalled products, highlighting potential safety risks that could affect holiday gifts.
Why It Matters
The listed products were recalled because of serious safety concerns, including risks of choking and battery ingestion. According to the CPSC, swallowed button or coin cell batteries and small detachable parts can cause severe injuries or even death in young children.
For families and holiday gift-givers, immediate awareness and action are essential to prevent harm.
What To Know
Over the past three months, the following children’s toys sold on Amazon have been recalled over violations of federal safety standards or substantial injury risks:
KTEBO-Branded Writing Tablet Toy (CPSC recall number: 26-131)
The CPSC announced the recall of this product on December 4 because the screw securing the battery compartment could detach, allowing access to the button cell batteries. If ingested, these batteries can cause serious internal injuries or even death.
The affected items were sold in packs of two on Amazon.com, for between $8 and $30. They come in two sizes—8.5 inches and 10 inches—and in the following four color variations: pink/blue, green/yellow, orange/blue and purple/red.
About 10,380 tablets were sold between September and October.
Consumers are advised to stop using the faulty tablets immediately and send a photo of both tablets, with the word “Recalled” written on the back of each, to this email address: writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com. For a free replacement, consumers should write “Recall Proof” and their name in the subject line.
Meaicezli Play Purse Sets (CPSC recall number: 26-164)
According to a CPSC announcement from December 18, these pink purse sets—sold on Amazon for about $15—include a toy cellphone and writing tablet, both with easily accessible button or coin cell batteries, which violate mandatory safety standards.
About 3,090 units were sold between August and October.
Consumers should stop using the toy cellphone and the writing tablet and dispose of both items immediately. To obtain a refund, they should send a photo of the two components to meaicezli-services@outlook.com, confirming the disposal.
Bettina Doll Sets With Magic Light Unicorn (CPSC recall number: 26-085)
According to a CPSC announcement dated November 13, the doll set comes with a toy unicorn that has multicolored hair, a pink saddle and a battery compartment that is not secure, allowing easy access to the button cell batteries. If these batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious injuries.
The notice confirms that about 380 units were sold from August to September. Consumers should throw the unicorn away and send a photo of the disposed toy to bettinaftersales@outlook.com for a refund.
Magnet Fidget Spinner Sets by Anzmtosn (CPSC recall number: 26-104)
The CSPC announced that the fidget spinners, which have the batch number CCA06582 printed on the back label of the packaging, contain loose, high-powered magnets that can be swallowed and pose a risk of intestinal injury or death.
According to the notice, issued November 20, about 490 units have been sold on Amazon between December 2024 and June 2025. Consumers have been advised to immediately dispose of the sets and send a photo of the disposed toy to Anzmtosn53@163.com for a refund.
Generic Magnetic Ball Sets by Ritons (CPSC recall number: 26-012)
A CPSC announcement from October 9 said the magnetic ball sets come with 1,000 small, 3 mm-size magnetic balls, which can be easily swallowed. This violates toy standards. If ingested, the magnets can attach and become stuck in the digestive system, causing serious injury or death.
About 5,800 units were sold from November 2024 to August 2025. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Ritons to request a refund.
Inkari Plush Alpaca Toys (CPSC recall number: 26-075)
The CPCS announced the recall of this product on November 6 because the eyes on the plush toys can detach and become a choking hazard for children under 3 years old, violating small part safety requirements. Five sets of the plush toys have been recalled: naturals, baristas, rainbow, monsterfluffs and limited edition. They cost between $25 and $100.
About 64,000 units were sold on Amazon between November 2020 and July 2025. Consumers are advised to take the toy away from children, cut the fur and send a photo of the destroyed toy to support@inkari-alpaca.com for a refund.
What People Are Saying
A Consumer Product Safety Commission announcement said: “When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns, and death.”
What Happens Next
Although no injuries have been reported in connection with these recalls as of publication, the CPSC urges consumers to remain vigilant and verify whether they have purchased any of the affected toys. Swift action can help prevent serious harm.
