A 2-year-old child died in 2023 after his shirt got caught on one of the kitchen sets, the recall notice said. Nearly 200,000 kids play kitchens have been recalled for a strangulation hazard after a child died while playing with one. On July 31, Backyard Kids issued a recall of about 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. According to the recall notice, the play kitchens include hooks used to hold toy kitchen accessories that could catch on children's clothing, posing a strangulation risk that could cause injury or death. In February 2023, a 23-month-old child in Oregon who was climbing on the back of the play kitchen asphyxiated after his shirt got caught on one of the hooks. He was unable to rescue himself and died from strangulation and asphyxia, according to the notice. The companies said they have not received any other reports of the hooks injuring a child or catching their clothing. Which kids kitchen sets have been recalled?

Backyard Kids purchased the remaining sets from KidKraft after it filed for bankruptcy and sold some units to customers, which is why it is issuing the recall.
