Yoto Safety and Recall Information

December 2024 Yoto Mini Recall
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE FROM YOTO FOR YOTO MINI PLAYERS – you will get an email from Yoto directly if you have purchased an affected Yoto Mini (2021-23 editions) but you can find out more information here and order your lithium battery replacement kit here. This is further to the April 2024 cable replacement.
US/CA can order replacements now and get them shipped. Other countries such as where I am, UK, will not get dispatched until early 2025 but you can still register.
Yoto are saying not to use the Yoto Mini until you receive the battery and as before they are sending vouchers to affected customers after receiving the kit. IMPORTANT: you need to keep the box your Battery Replacement Kit came in to register the new battery. Once you receive your kit check out this how to video from Yoto.
I have two Yoto Minis affected and have ordered. As it’s a free order just make sure you follow every step to complete the transaction. You’ll get an email to let you know it has been ordered successfully.
My Opinion on the December 2024 Yoto Lithium Battery Recall
- Is this further recall very frustrating – yes.
- Is it going to really bother us not being able to use our Yoto Minis until a replacement comes in early 2025 (UK) – majorly! Replacement times for different countries vary.
- Do I still adore our Yoto Minis – yes!!
- Am I already thinking about what to spend the voucher on – ….yes.
- Let’s hope this all gets resolved swiftly for all of us affected. I’ll report back to let you know how easy it was to replace the parts when I receive our kit.
Yoto Mini Cable Replacement
In April 2024 Yoto shared information related to the Yoto Mini Player 2021-23 editions. Affected players needed a replacement cable. For more information about this check out the Yoto safety page here.
Yoto Gen 2 UK Plug Adapter
This is regarding the Yoto Gen 2 (NOT the Gen 3 – current Yoto Player or Mini). You can find out about this adapter swap on the Yoto site (updated about a month ago) here.
If you had an affected player you should have already had an email about what to do. We are UK based and have two Gen 2’s in our family and they were not affected.
