A children’s mini speaker is being recalled for potential burn and fire hazards.
A children’s mini speaker is being recalled for potential burn and fire hazards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced April 11 that the Yoto Mini speaker for children is being voluntarily recalled because of a lithium-ion battery that can overheat and catch fire, posing burn and fire risks. Parents are advised to remove the Yoto Mini from their children’s reach immediately, but recalled units do not need to be discarded. Those who own the speaker should contact Yoto to receive a free Yoto Mini Smart Cable, which can charge the speaker battery to a safe level, Yoto said in a statement. The speaker was sold with a charging cable, but no adaptor or charger. Consumers should cut the charging cable through the middle and upload a photo to the Yoto website with their email and Yoto Mini serial number, located on the speaker’s base. Once uploaded, consumers will be eligible for the free smart cable. “Anyone who has a Yoto Mini can now register to receive one Yoto Mini Smart Cable per device through our dedicated website. The Yoto Mini Smart Cable will keep the battery charge within safe limits and prevent it potentially overheating by stopping charging when it reaches a certain point,” the company said in a statement.
