Fox – 10 Phoenix
Thousands of toys, water bottles and bedding products for infants and children sold by Amazon, Shein and other popular retailers were recently recalled as they pose serious safety risks just in time for the holiday shopping season.
These products were named in a series of recalls reported by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on Dec. 4 and were sold primarily online throughout 2025. The affected products, ranging from tablets to sports tumblers, failed to meet U.S. safety standards for issues commonly considered dangerous to children’s health, including batteries, magnets and safe sleep regulations.
Before you do your holiday shopping, check out the list of recalled children’s products here.
HyrdoJug 14oz Children’s Sports Tumbler
What is being recalled? Approximately 17,000 HydroJug brand water bottles for children are being recalled as they pose a choking hazard. The 14-ounce children’s sports tumbler bottles come in cowgirl, sports, daisy checker, dinosaur, and bow patterns and have rivets on the handles that can loosen and cause the handles to fall off, creating a choking hazard on small parts.
Why are they being recalled? As of the Dec. 4 recall notice, the company had received more than 650 reports of handle rivets coming loose, but no injuries had been reported.
Products affected: The bottom of the tumbler under the rubber boot of the water bottle has serial number 235010 or no serial number. These were sold for approximately $25 from May 2025 to June 2025 at Academy Sports, Scheels, Combined Sales Company, Gordons Ace Hardware, Bucks Ace, Kents Grocery, Basin Sports, and online at Hydrojug.com, Amazon.com, Well.ca, and iHerb.com.
What to do: Consumers with affected products should immediately stop using their tumblers and contact HydroJuge at service@thehydrojug.com to receive a free replacement lid. Customers must provide order details, shipping address, a photo of the bottom of the tumbler, and a photo of the recalled lid marked “Recalled” before it can be discarded to receive a replacement.
KTEBO Writing Tablet Toy
What is being recalled? Approximately 10,380 KTEBO branded children’s tablets are being recalled due to a battery safety issue that could lead to serious injury or death.
Why are they being recalled? Button batteries are small round batteries commonly used in toys and are known to be extremely dangerous to children and pets, who can easily swallow them and cause serious injury, internal chemical burns, or death. The screws on the affected KTEBO writing tablet toys do not comply with toy standards and may loosen, exposing the internal button battery.
Products affected: The tablets, which were recalled on December 4, were sold in sets of two and came in four color variations (pink/blue, green/yellow, orange/blue, and purple/red) and two sizes (8.5-inch and 10-inch), and included a color-matched stylus. These were sold on Amazon.com from September 2025 to October 2025 for $8 to $30.
What to do: Customers should immediately stop using the recalled tablet and contact KTEBO at writing-tablet-recall@ktebo.com for a free replacement. To receive a new tablet, consumers must write “Recalled” on the back of the tablet, take a photo, and send it to the address above with “Recall Proof” and their name in the subject line.
CreateOn Crayola branded pip-Cubes
What is being recalled? Approximately 9,400 Crayola-branded toys are being recalled due to the risk of ingestion, which can cause serious injury or death.
Why are they being recalled? The Crayola CreateOn pip-Cube is a magnetic construction cube sold in recognizable Crayola packaging. The strong magnets on the small blocks can loosen and, if swallowed, they can stick to each other inside the body and become stuck in the digestive system. Such magnets are known to perforate, twist, or block the intestines, causing sepsis and death.
Products affected: The recalled cubes were sold in sets of 24 or 27 cubes in bold colors and glitter. The bold colored cubes are red, green, blue, and yellow. Glitter cubes come in purple, pink, blue, and green with glitter.
“Crayola” is stamped on the left side of each cube and the model/UPC number is located on the bottom of the product packaging. The recalled UPC models and numbers are:

This includes the “waffle bedding accessory” style, which is sold as bumper pads in gray, pink, blue, and white and comes in four different lengths: 23.5 inches, 47 inches, 78.5 inches, and 94.5 inches. It also reminds me of the “Plush Crib Bumper” style, which was sold as a beige and ivory Velcro vertical crib slat cover in the shape of a bear, bunny, or star pattern.
Affected products were sold for $30 to $80 on littlepeashop.com from October 2023 to October 2025.
