The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning parents to toss recalled child safety gates that may pose a risk of serious injury or death.
A recall notice posted by CPSC stated that the gates violate the federal safety regulation for expansion gates and expandable enclosures, because a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate slat and side wall, a child’s torso can fit through the secondary opening, the locking mechanism does not fully engage and/or the gate does not resist a push-out force.
“These failures pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment and fall hazards,” stated the CPSC.
The recall involves multiple child safety gates sold by five different third-party sellers on Amazon.com from June 2021 through March 2025.
The gates cost between $67 and $200.
The gates have model numbers and cohort information listed on their tracking label, located on the bottom rail.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
Consumers should stop using the recalled gates immediately and contact the third-party seller by email for information on how to dispose of the product and submit proof of destruction to obtain a full refund. The third-party sellers and Amazon are contacting all known purchasers directly, according to CPSC.
