Amazon and several third-party vendors issued nationwide recalls for various children's products, including safety gates, crib bumpers, dressers and play yard mattresses. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that the products, sold exclusively online on posed hazards such as suffocation, entrapment and tip-over injuries. Each recall notice urged consumers to stop using the affected items immediately and offered refunds for products that are destroyed and documented with photos. No injuries have been reported from the recalled items. Recalls are issued when concerns arise that a product is defective or potentially harmful in some way, such as when testing shows that foods are contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria or have been infected with a foreign object during the manufacturing process. The recall of multiple child-focused products highlights continued risks associated with unregulated or noncompliant imports sold by third-party vendors on major online platforms. These latest recalls demonstrate that products violating federal standards remain available to U.S. consumers, underlining the importance of regulatory oversight and Amazon's marketplace responsibility. Dearlomum Retractable Safety Gates About 2,200 Dearlomum Retractable Safety Gates were recalled after being sold on Amazon between December 2024 and May for $33 to $38. The gates, distributed by Signbaby, can entrap a child's torso between the gate and floor, risking injury or death. The product violates federal regulations for children's gate safety. To receive a full refund, consumers must cut and destroy the gate and submit documentation to Signbaby. AUGNORYE Padded Crib Bumpers YIXIA recalled about 356 units of AUGNORYE Padded Cushioned Crib Bumpers on July 10. These products were sold from February to May on Amazon for $40 to $45. The CPSC found that the soft bumpers violated the federal ban on padded crib bumpers, presenting a suffocation risk that could create an unsafe sleep environment for infants. Refunds are offered when consumers cut and document destruction of the products. Braided Crib Bumpers by Haoyunm About 260 braided crib bumpers, imported by Haoyunm, were recalled for violating the same federal ban as the AUGNORYE product. Sold in various lengths and colors on Amazon from December 2024 to April, the unmarked bumpers are considered suffocation hazards. Customers are required to cut the product in half and provide evidence to receive a refund. WLIVE Fabric Dressers Jiangsu Zhi Pai Furniture Manufacturing Co. Ltd. recalled about 6,600 WLIVE Fabric 15-Drawer Dressers, sold for about $110 each between April 2024 and May 2025 on Amazon.

Refunds are processed after customers submit disposal documentation. Creekliybear Play Yard Mattresses Kbabyea recalled 21,500 Creekliybear aftermarket play yard mattresses. These products, sold online on Amazon for $28 to $40 from December 2024 to June, exceed federally mandated thickness requirements.
