U.S. safety officials announced a sweeping series of recalls in late February 2026, affecting more than 150,000 children’s products. Hazards cited include drowning, fire, toxic chemicals, lead exposure, and choking. All recalls were announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Infant Products

About 2,380 Trankerloop baby bath seats were recalled after the CPSC said they “violate the mandatory standard for infant bath seats because they are unstable and can tip over while in use, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to drowning.”

The seats were sold online on Amazon.com from August through October 2025 for about $36 each. They were manufactured in China by Shenzhenshirongmanshangmaoyouxiangongsi, doing business as Trankerloop.

Consumers should stop using the seats and contact the company for a refund.

Sanven Technology Ltd., doing business as Vevor of Rancho Cucamonga, California, recalled about 10,400 retractable baby gates. The gates were sold online at Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, Vevor.com, Walmart.com, and Wayfair.com from December 2023 through December 2025 for between $32 and $53. CPSC said a child can fit through the opening, posing an entrapment risk.

About 150 Bicystar high chairs were recalled. The chairs were sold online at Amazon.com from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, 2025, for about $76. The chairs lack the required restraints and pose fall and entrapment hazards, according to the recall notice.

Hisense Ltd. of Israel recalled about 81,800 Babysense Max View baby monitors. The monitors were sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Babylist.com from January 2023 through December 2025 for between $90 and $180.

The company received 11 reports of overheating or sparking in the baby monitor display unit. Consumers should stop using the display unit.

Toys and Educational Products

Surreal Brands LLC of Brooklyn, New York, recalled about 9,400 Tubby Tots Fizzy Flask Bath Magic sets. The products were sold online at Amazon.com, Wonderfunbrands.com, and on a TikTok Shop for Wonderfun Brands from November 2025 through January 2026, priced between $14 and $15.

Moisture buildup can cause pieces to eject forcefully from the container. The company received three reports of such incidents, including bruises, swelling, and a chipped tooth. The sets were made in China and can be returned for a refund.

Several magnet-based toys were also recalled due to ingestion hazards.

The recalled products include about 1,300 magnetic chess games sold online at Amazon.com from August through November 2025 by Kaiwenshangpin.
