What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with TheKiddoSpace Print and Cursive Handwriting Kits?
TheKiddoSpace Print and Cursive Handwriting Kits was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The pens in the recalled children's handwriting kits contain levels of lead in the nib that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled handwriting kits immediately, take the pens and refills away from children and contact The KiddoSpace to receive free replacement pens and refills, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to dispose of the pens and refills according to local and state regulations and send a photo of the disposed products to info@thekiddospace.com. Sold at: Online at TheKiddoSpaceStore.com and Amazon.com from February 2024 through February 2025 for between $25 and $50.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 19,700 units of TheKiddoSpace Print and Cursive Handwriting Kits are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
