Two companies are withdrawing children’s speakers and decorative lighting controllers from the market, citing safety risks.
In April, New York-based Yoto Inc. recalled its Yoto Mini branded speakers aimed at children ages 3 to 12. On Dec. 12, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a notice that the company had reannounced the recall; the agency warned that “the speaker’s lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.”
