The Autobrush Kids Toothbrush Recall is an important safety alert for parents, grandparents, and caregivers with young children at home.
At first glance, this may sound like a recall involving a children’s toothbrush—but there’s a detail that makes this recall unusual and especially important:
The toothbrush itself is not the recalled product.
The packaging box is what’s being recalled.
That distinction matters because the packaging contains a lithium coin battery that children may be able to access, creating a battery ingestion hazard that can cause serious injury or death.
Autobrush Kids Toothbrush Recall
The recall involves:
- Autobrush Sonic Pro Kids Toothbrush Boxes
- Packaging featuring:
- Harley the Hippo
- Unity the Unicorn
- Lenn the Lion
- About 48,000 units recalled in the U.S.
The affected packaging was sold with children’s toothbrush products and includes electronics powered by a lithium coin battery.
Why the Autobrush Kids Toothbrush Recall Is Dangerous
Coin batteries are one of the most dangerous small items in homes with children.
If swallowed, these batteries can:
Become lodged in a child’s throat
Trigger severe internal burns
Damage tissue within hours
Cause life-threatening complications
Result in death
This is why federal law—known as Reese’s Law—requires products containing coin batteries to meet strict child safety standards and include warning labels. According to the CPSC, these recalled boxes violate those standards.
What Parents Should Do Right Now
If you purchased one of these products:
1) Keep the Box Away From Children Immediately
Remove the recalled packaging from:
- play areas
- bathrooms
- bedrooms
- anywhere children can access it
2) Write “RECALLED” on the Box
Use a permanent marker and clearly write:
RECALLED
This prevents accidental reuse.
3) Take a Clear Photo
Photograph:
- the front of the box
- your written “RECALLED” marking
- product identification if visible
4) Email Proof
Send your photo to:

5) Dispose of the Box Properly
Because of the battery, do not simply toss it in regular trash if your local area requires battery-safe disposal.
Check local hazardous waste or battery recycling guidance.

Why This Recall Matters So Much

Parents often focus on:
