Toy distributor Impulse A/S is recalling the digital drawing board “Drawing Tablet” after warning that children can reach its button battery.
The recall was announced on Friday, November 13, and reported by Kristeligt Dagblad via the Ritzau news agency. According to the distributor, the button battery in the drawing tablet can become accessible to children.
If the battery is swallowed, it can cause choking or serious caustic burns, according to the warning carried by TV2 Fyn. The same outlet reports that owners are told to stop using the product at once.
Impulse A/S also states that the tablet and any loose batteries should be kept out of reach of children. Owners are told not to try to open or repair the product themselves.
Where the tablet was sold and how refunds work
The toy was sold in Coop stores and, in the company’s own wording, at “a few other retailers”. That detail is reported by nyheder.dk, which carried the same Ritzau text.
Buyers can get their money back by returning the tablet to the store where they bought it, as reported by TV Midtvest. The recall notice does not set a deadline for returns.
The announcement comes from the distributor itself. No separate notice on this specific recall from Sikkerhedsstyrelsen, the Danish Safety Technology Authority, was published alongside the wire reports.
What the recall means for international parents in Denmark
Denmark uses two separate terms for product safety actions. A tilbagetrækning means a product is pulled from shop shelves, while a tilbagekaldelse means customers are asked to bring back items they already own. This case is a tilbagekaldelse, which is why the notice is addressed to households and not only to stores.
Recalls in Denmark are supervised by Sikkerhedsstyrelsen, which publishes product warnings on sik.dk. According to the authority’s general guidance on recalls, a case is only closed once the authority assesses that enough of the sold product has been returned. That is why recall notices are repeated across news outlets and shop websites for weeks after they are first issued.
For families who moved to Denmark recently, the practical point is that the refund runs through the retailer, not the manufacturer. Impulse A/S says the money is returned in the shop where the tablet was bought, which for most buyers means a Coop store. Danish recall notices are usually issued in Danish only, so the product name, in this case “Drawing Tablet”, is often the clearest identifier for non-Danish speakers.
Button battery incidents are treated as urgent medical events, and Denmark’s emergency number is 112 for acute situations. How non-acute cases are handled through a GP or the regional out-of-hours service is explained in our guide to healthcare in Denmark. The recall notice itself does not include medical instructions beyond keeping the product and loose batteries away from children.
