The European Commission has ordered a recall of a smartwatch for children because of what is calls a “serious” privacy risk. The watch, called Safe-KID-One, is a product of the German electronics manufacturer Enox. The company sells other smartwatch models, as well as televisions and wireless communication devices. On its website, Enox describes the Safe-KID-One as a tool for parents. The watches have a simple, colorful design that seems appealing to children. The device has a built-in microphone and speaker to permit two-way communication. The company says the smartwatch can be used by parents to learn where their children are at all times and contact them. It says this can be done with a computer software program, or app. The Enox website says children wearing the watch can place a telephone call with just one touch of a number. The site claims that “only pre-listed parties” can call a child through the device. However, the European Commission recently reported that it found major security concerns with the Safe-KID-One system.
