Vevor has issued a recall for its retractable baby gates due to the risk of injury to children, effective March 23, 2026. The recall affects approximately 1,660 units sold in Canada since November 2023.
The recalled gates have been found to violate mandatory safety standards for expansion gates and expandable enclosures. Specifically, the design allows a child’s torso to fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, posing a significant risk of serious injury due to entrapment.
The affected models include YJ-3355, YJ-3371, and YJ-33110, which are available in grey, white, and black colors. Consumers are strongly advised to stop using these gates immediately to prevent potential accidents.
In response to the recall, Vevor has recommended that consumers destroy the gates by cutting through the mesh. Additionally, they should send a photo of the destroyed gate to [email protected] for confirmation.
Vevor has also provided a toll-free contact number, (855) 599-6320, for consumers to reach out with any questions or concerns regarding the recall. Customer service is available from noon to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
Vevor stated, “We are recalling this product because the recalled gates violate the mandatory standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures, and a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, posing a risk of serious injury due to entrapment.” This statement underscores the urgency and seriousness of the recall.
The recall highlights ongoing concerns regarding child safety products and the importance of adhering to safety standards to prevent injuries. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to remain vigilant about the safety of products used in their homes.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any reported injuries associated with the recalled gates, but the proactive measure by Vevor aims to ensure the safety of children across Canada.
