The 2025 Product Recalls Parents Need to Know About

Safety is a top priority in the world of baby products—there are numerous safety certifications and regulations to help monitor items on the market. But sometimes recalls can happen. 

In the event that a safety issue is found with a product that’s already being sold, recalls are issued by brands, manufacturers and federal regulatory organizations like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Baby product recalls can include everything from toys and clothing to car seats and furniture to formula and baby food. (By the way, “dupe” baby products are much more likely to be recalled; make sure you’re buying real products from reputable brands.)

Recalls can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most important thing for parents and caregivers is to be aware of recalls when they happen and know what actions to take. Registering your product with the manufacturer (using the info on that little card that’s usually included in the packaging) will keep you up to date on any recalls involving that specific item. For general recall knowledge, you can always check this article for this year’s major baby product recalls, and you can also sign up for automatic recall alerts sent right to your email from the CPSC and FDA.

Here are the official recalls for baby products in 2025 so far. (Note: This list only contains baby product recalls that affected more than 1,000 estimated units.)

Safety 1st Recall: March 2025

Safety 1st and Disney Baby 3-in-1 Harness Booster Seats

The recall: These car seats/booster seats are incorrectly labeled for forward-facing internal harness usage with maximum height requirements of 43–57 inches. The actual safety-approved limit is 34–49 inches—using the booster outside that range poses a safety hazard in the event of a crash. High-back and backless booster mode usage is unaffected by this recall.

What to do: You can still use your car seat as long as you follow the approved forward-facing internal harness height limits of 34–49 inches, as correctly stated in the instruction manual that was included with your car seat.

Evenflo Recall: March 2025

Various Evenflo Car Seats, Strollers and Travel Systems

The recall: Approximately 1,000 units of various Evenflo baby gear were recently sold in the US with Canadian product registration cards instead of US registration cards. Please note that the recall is for these registration cards only, not for the products themselves. There is no safety risk with the Evenflo products, and you can continue to use your car seat or stroller as normal.

What to do: If Evenflo has your contact information from your purchase or product registration, they'll automatically send you the correct US-compliant registration card. You can also contact Evenflo to verify if your product is affected—you'll know if you accidentally received a Canadian registration card if the model number ends in C and has labels in both French and English.

Onasti Recall: March 2025

Onasti Toddler Tower Stools

The recall: These toddler towers and kitchen helper stools can collapse or tip over while in use, posing serious fall and injury hazards to children.

What to do: Stop using the toddler tower immediately and put it out of reach o f children until it can be repaired. Contact Blissful-Time via email or on the Onasti website to receive a free repair kit (shipping is included.

Cybex Recall: February 2025

Cybex Aton G and Aton G Swivel Infant Car Seats

The recall: The harness hip anchorage retention hooks on certain Aton G models may bend, causing the anchor pin to loosen, and the harness strap to detach. A detached harness means your child isn’t properly restrained, which increases the risk of injury.

What to do: The manufacturer (Columbus Trading-Partners USA, Inc.—also known as CTP) will mail owners a remedy kit and installation instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 4, 2025. Owners may contact CTP customer service at 877-242-5676.

Babyganics Recall: February 2025

Babyganics Kids SPF 50+ Mineral Sunscreen Totally Tropical Scent (rollerball and continuous spray formulas)

The recall: This voluntary recall of Babyganics Kids sunscreen is due to a potential impurity (1,2-dimethoxyethane, which Babyganics says should not be present in their product). The impurity was only discovered in the rollerball and spray products with the Totally Tropical scent. No other scents or formulas are affected. Note that this recall is voluntary, meaning it was issued by the brand due to their own safety practices, not because the product violates federal regulations.

What to do: Check the product code on your bottle to determine if your sunscreen is part of this recall. If so, you’ll be issued a refund.

Wayfair/Style Life Eleven Recall: February 2025

Style Life Eleven Baby Loungers

The recall: These infant loungers are being recalled due to several violations of federal safety regulations for infant sleep products:

• The sleeping pad is too thick, posing a suffocation hazard.

• An enclosed opening at the sides of the lounger can cause a baby to fall out or become entrapped.

• The sides are too low and the loungers don’t have a stand, posing a fall hazard.

What to do: Stop using the lounger immediately and reach out to Wayfair customer service via email or online to get a full refund. Wayfair is also contacting all known purchasers directly.

Babyjoy Recall: February 2025

Babyjoy High Chairs

The recall: These high chairs violate the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act due to having an incline of more than 10 degrees and being marketed or designed for sleep (high chairs are never a safe sleep space for babies). The high chairs also violate federal regulations for high chairs due to the large gap between the seat and the tray, which poses an entrapment hazard.

What to do: Stop using the high chair immediately and contact Costway via email or online for a full refund and instructions on how to return or dispose of the product.

Nuby Recall: February 2025

Nuby Stroller Fans

The recall: These stroller fans are being recalled due to the wide gaps between spokes of the fan blade housing. The gaps are large enough that a child’s fingers could slip through and touch the blades, posing a laceration hazard.

What to do: Stop using the fan immediately. You can contact the manufacturer via email or online to receive a free replacement.

Amazon/UVIPC Recall: February 2025

UVIPC Baby Gates

The recall: These baby gates, sold exclusively on Amazon, violate federal safety regulations for baby gates due to the openings between the gate and the wall being too wide, posing an entrapment hazard for babies and small children.

What to do: Stop using the gates immediately and contact the seller via email for a full refund. Amazon is also contacting all known purchasers directly, so keep an eye out for an email from Amazon and a notification on your Amazon account.
